Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate, and technology companies are investing heavily to help organisations adopt AI faster and more effectively. DXC Technology has announced a major leadership move that reflects this growing focus. The company has appointed Holly Grant as President of AI Innovation and Strategy & LabX, expanding the role of its AI-focused business unit as a key driver of future growth.
The appointment strengthens DXC’s efforts to deliver enterprise AI solutions while giving customers greater flexibility in choosing the technologies that best meet their business needs. It also supports the company’s broader strategy to accelerate AI innovation and help organisations move from experimentation to real-world business outcomes.
Holly Grant Takes on an Expanded Leadership Role
DXC Technology announced that Holly Grant will serve as President of AI Innovation and Strategy & LabX. She will continue reporting directly to Chief Executive Officer Raul Fernandez while leading the company’s expanded AI initiatives.
In her new role, Grant will oversee both LabX, DXC’s AI-native product incubator, and the AI Platforms Engine, which manages the company’s commercial AI platform strategy. By bringing these areas together under one leader, DXC aims to strengthen collaboration between AI innovation, product development, strategic partnerships, and customer delivery.
Grant has already played a significant role in shaping DXC’s AI strategy. Since joining the company, she has helped establish LabX as a centre for developing enterprise AI products and building partnerships that support innovation across industries.
LabX Becomes a Larger AI Growth Engine
DXC launched LabX in April 2026 as an AI-native product incubator designed to accelerate enterprise AI innovation. The company has now expanded the unit by integrating the AI Platforms Engine, making LabX a larger part of its overall AI business strategy.
According to DXC, the expanded organisation combines AI product incubation with commercial AI platform expertise, allowing customers to access a wider range of AI technologies while supporting their digital transformation goals.
The company said this expanded structure reinforces its Fast Track strategy, which focuses on accelerating growth in high-value AI opportunities while continuing to strengthen its core business operations.
Supporting an Open AI Ecosystem
DXC said the expanded LabX brings together expertise across leading AI technologies, including Amazon Quick, Anthropic Claude, and Microsoft Copilot. Instead of encouraging customers to rely on a single AI platform, the company plans to support an open AI ecosystem that gives organisations the flexibility to choose solutions based on their unique business requirements.
This approach allows DXC to work with multiple AI technologies while helping enterprises integrate AI into their existing systems and operations.
The company believes that offering platform flexibility will help customers adopt AI more efficiently as business needs continue to evolve.
Helping Customers Scale AI Adoption
DXC also highlighted the role of its Forward-Deployed Engineers (FDEs), who work directly with customers to support AI implementation and accelerate enterprise transformation.
The company said these engineers play an important role in helping organisations deploy AI solutions within real business environments. By combining technical expertise with industry knowledge, DXC aims to help customers move beyond limited AI trials and implement solutions that deliver measurable business value.
Holly Grant said the expanded LabX will help organisations overcome common barriers to AI adoption by bringing together innovation, platform expertise, and practical implementation capabilities.
A Strategic Move for Future Growth
DXC’s latest leadership announcement reflects the company’s long-term commitment to enterprise AI. By expanding LabX and placing Holly Grant at the centre of its AI strategy, DXC is creating a stronger structure to support innovation, customer success, and business growth.
CEO Raul Fernandez said the company is focused on helping customers achieve meaningful business outcomes through AI while building an organisation that can respond quickly to changing technology demands.
As businesses continue increasing their investment in artificial intelligence, DXC is positioning LabX as a major growth engine that combines innovation, strategic partnerships, and enterprise expertise. With Holly Grant leading the expanded organisation, the company aims to help customers adopt AI with greater confidence, flexibility, and long-term value.
