EDS Names Nitin Khanna to Lead U.S. State and Local Government Non-Healthcare Sector
HERNDON, Va. – EDS today announced it has appointed Nitin Khanna, chief executive officer of Saber Solutions, to lead EDS' non-healthcare U.S. state and local government business. In this position, Khanna will be responsible for managing EDS' state and local non-healthcare business operating under the entity of Saber Government Solutions, an EDS company.
Khanna will focus on accelerating growth and strengthening relationships with EDS' state and local government clients in the U.S. and internationally in areas such as IT Outsourcing, Motor Vehicle Administration, Unemployment Insurance and Public Retirement programs, and Elections.
Khanna came to EDS in November 2007, when the company acquired an approximate 93 percent equity interest in Saber Solutions. Prior to the acquisition, Khanna was CEO at Saber, a leading provider of software and services to U.S. state governments. Khanna will continue to be based in Portland, Oregon.
Barbara Anderson, vice president, EDS Government Health and Human Services, will continue to lead the company's state and local government healthcare and welfare eligibility business.
Khanna assumes the position previously held by Susan Arthur, who has been appointed to a new senior leadership position in EDS' healthcare industry.
“Nitin brings many years of experience and expertise in state and local government business to EDS, which complements EDS' existing state and local government activities,” said Dennis Stolkey, vice president and general manager of EDS U.S. Government and Public Sector. “The addition of Saber Government Solutions' leading applications portfolio to EDS' existing capabilities and global resources allows us to provide the industry's leading end-to-end solutions for state and local government clients.”
Khanna co-founded Saber Consulting in 1997. The company focuses exclusively on state and local government applications in targeted market segments including motor vehicle administration, unemployment insurance, pensions, human services and voter registration.
Prior to Saber, Khanna was employed by Oracle Corp., where he held a number of senior technical positions in Consulting and Education.
