Media Release
CMS Info Systems Appoints Will Poole, Global Technology
Operator and AI Investor, as Independent Director
The Capria Ventures co-founder and former Microsoft executive joins the board as CMS builds
toward its 2030 ambitions as a technology-led business services platform.
Mumbai, 10 August 2026: CMS Info Systems Limited (CMS), India’s leading business services company,
today announced the appointment of Mr. William Poole VIII (Mr. Will Poole) as Additional Director
(Independent). CMS runs an integrated platform spanning ATM management, retail & currency logistics,
and technology & payments. Will brings to CMS’s board four decades of building and scaling technology
businesses, as a senior executive at Microsoft and most recently as a venture investor across emerging
markets. His appointment comes as CMS accelerates its investments in Vision AI, data and automation.
Will Poole is Managing Partner and Co-founder of Capria Ventures, a venture firm investing in technology
founders across the Global South, and is the firm’s Chief AI Evangelist. Before Capria, he spent over twelve
years at Microsoft, rising to Corporate Vice President in charge of several business lines, including the USD
13 billion Windows desktop business, which represented two-thirds of the company’s profits at the time.
He also led Microsoft’s effort to adapt its products for mass-market customers in emerging economies.
Will joined Microsoft in 1996, when it acquired eShop, an e-commerce pioneer, which he co-founded. He
is co-author of the upcoming Penguin book ‘Flourishing with AI’ and holds a B.S. in Computer Science from
Brown University.
“Over two decades, we have grown CMS into a market leader in all our businesses. Will joins our board at
an important point in our transformation, as we accelerate investments in our Technology & Payment
Solutions segment. He has operated technology businesses at global scale and backed founders building
in markets like ours, and that mix of operating judgment and investing discipline is exactly the perspective
we want in the room as we shape the next phase of CMS’s growth,” said Mr. Rajiv Kaul, Executive Vice
Chairman & CEO, CMS Info Systems.
“CMS has built something rare in India: banking-grade trust and last-mile reach at national scale. What
draws me to this board is the chance to help transform that foundation into intelligent, technology-led
services for the country’s financial infrastructure. Some of the most consequential applied AI
opportunities will be built in India, serving large national institutions that reach hundreds of millions of
citizens,” said Mr. Will Poole, Managing Partner & Co-founder, Capria Ventures.
