Kotaro Zamma

Kotaro Zamma leads NTT Data as President and CEO, overseeing one of the world's largest IT services and consulting companies. NTT Data is a subsidiary of NTT Group (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, Japan's largest telecommunications company) and generates over $30 billion in annual revenue from IT consulting, systems integration, managed services, and digital transformation engagements across more than 80 countries. NTT Data was significantly expanded in 2023 when it absorbed NTT Ltd. (which included NTT Communications and Dimension Data), creating a more globally integrated technology services company. The combined entity serves a vast client base across financial services, healthcare, government, manufacturing, and telecom sectors. In Japan, NTT Data is the dominant IT services provider for major banks, insurance companies, and government agencies. The company has been investing in AI, cloud migration, cybersecurity, and digital transformation capabilities to compete with global IT services leaders like Accenture, TCS, Infosys, and IBM Consulting. Key stock drivers include IT services spending growth globally and in Japan, digital transformation project pipeline, AI and cloud services adoption, managed services contract wins, competition with Indian IT outsourcers (who offer lower labor costs), yen exchange rate impact on international revenue, and NTT Group's strategic direction for NTT Data.
