Roper Technologies elects NTT DATA CEO Abhijit Dubey to board

Roper Technologies added a global IT-services chief to its board. In a Form 8-K accepted Thursday morning, the company said its board on Sept. 29, 2026 elected Abhijit Dubey, age 52, as a director effective Oct. 1, 2026, for a term that expires at Roper’s 2027 annual meeting of stockholders.

Dubey is Chief Executive Officer and Chief AI Officer of NTT DATA, Inc., and a director of NTT DATA Group Corporation, according to the company’s Exhibit 99.1 release. He will receive compensation under Roper’s standard director arrangements described in its April 7, 2026 proxy. On Oct. 1, 2026 he will receive an equity award with grant-date fair value of about $224,583, the pro-rata value of a full-year non-employee director award of $385,000. Because he elected to take his annual cash retainer in equity, he will also receive an equity award with grant-date fair value of $5,000, the pro-rata value of the $30,000 cash retainer for the first six months of the board year. He will enter Roper’s standard indemnification agreement for directors and officers.

Roper shares were near $356.81 by midday Thursday, up about 2.1% from Wednesday’s close around $349.41 and down about 17.9% year to date.
