India’s Wipro Ltd. named Thierry Delaporte chief executive officer and managing director, recruiting its new leader from rival Capgemini SE.
As India’s technology services segment goes through a complete transformation with rapid digitization, Wipro’s new chief executive will be expected to steer it out of the pandemic and reclaim its high-growth days.
Wipro, controlled by Indian billionaire Azim Premji, ditched its software services revenue guidance for the first time ever in April -- joining businesses around the world struggling to assess the fallout from the coronavirus pandemic.
Delaporte was the chief operating officer of Capgemini Group and a member of its group executive board until recently, according to a statement from Wipro to Indian stock exchanges. He had held several leadership positions over more than two decades at the company.
