He'll oversee the UK and Europe
TransUnion, a global information and insights company, has today announced the appointment of Madhusudan “Madhu” Kejriwal as its new chief executive officer for UK and Europe.
Kejriwal will officially join TransUnion on January 2, 2025. The appointment is subject to the required regulatory approvals.
Kejriwal started his career with Capital One in fraud and credit risk and was subsequently with HSBC for 20 years working in a series of leadership roles, including executive vice president, head of consumer products, propositions and analytics for HSBC Mexico and managing director, group and UK head of cards and personal loans for HSBC. During his tenure at HSBC he helped steer the organisation through some of its biggest challenges across different markets. Kejriwal holds a bachelor’s degree in accounting and economics and did his MBA in finance at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM), Bangalore.
Having led TransUnion’s European business as interim UK and Europe chief executive officer for the last 12 months, Mark Horsey will remain in post until Kejriwal’s arrival. He will then remain with TransUnion, working in an advisory capacity across the organisation’s international business, including Europe – ensuring an orderly handover and that the business retains Horsey’s extensive talent and experience.
Commenting on his appointment, Kejriwal said: “I believe we are at the start of the next industrial revolution, where data and insights will increasingly become the cornerstones of economic and social development. This makes it an exciting time for TransUnion as it is set to bring new products and services to the UK market.
“Personally, I am really excited at the prospect of leading an organisation that is committed to helping our partner businesses benefit from an even greater level of data and insight and be their trusted advisor through this journey. I am passionate about growth and developing teams, and I’m looking forward to building on the strong foundations laid by Mark and the team that will enable us to capitalise on the great opportunities ahead.”
Todd Skinner, international president of TransUnion, commented: “Madhu is an exceptional talent and brings with him a wealth of experience and expertise. He is a widely recognised industry expert in banking and payments, so we’re delighted to welcome his leadership to our UK-led operations.
“As a previous user of TransUnion services, he is ideally positioned to lead the delivery of the wider global TransUnion solution set to benefit our clients and the consumers we serve, delivering on our mission of Information for Good. Given his background of strategic leadership and extensive experience in managing large and diverse teams, Madhu will be a great asset to TransUnion and we’re delighted to confirm his appointment as CEO for UK and Europe.”
The move comes not long following the appointment of Sharon Naidoo as chief financial officer for UK and Europe.
