The plan focuses on re-aligning Atos around its core geographies and strategic assets, including artificial intelligence, cloud-enabled services, and secure digital solutions.
The transaction is expected to close in the coming months, once all closing conditions are fulfilled. Nelson Campelo currently Head of Atos South America would assume the role of CEO of Semantix while Leonardo Santos Poça D'água, Semantix's founder and current CEO would become the Executive Chairman of the Group.
