Salvino’s first major position was with Andersen Consulting, where he became an associate partner in 1997. [7] He later left the company for Exult Inc. [8] By 2003, he had been promoted to executive vice-president for North American client sales and accounts at Exult, [9] and by April 2004, he was the company’s president for the Americas region.
