Wipro Appoints Frenchman As New CEO
Wipro Ltd has named Thierry Delaporte as the chief executive officer (CEO) and managing director of the company, handing the Frenchman the reins of the software services company. Delaporte, who was chief operating officer of Capgemini group, will take over on 6 July, replacing Abidali Z. Neemuchwala at India’s fourth-largest software services firm. Delaporte will be based in Paris and will report to chairman Rishad Premji, who said he is “the right person to lead Wipro in its next phase of growth". Delaporte’s appointment is seen as a historic move as he is likely the first non-Indian to be put at the helm of any large Indian IT services firm.
