Wipro's Management Changes

IT major Wipro on Monday said it has appointed Bruno Schenk as the Country Head and Managing Director for Switzerland, with immediate effect.

He will report to Wipro's Europe CEO Pierre Bruno.

Schenk is taking over from Ren Mulder, who has decided to explore new opportunities beyond Wipro, the company said.

Schenk was previously the CEO of Eviden Switzerland, an Atos business.

In May, Wipro appointed Sarat Chand as regional head and managing director of its northern Europe region.

This comes after the Azim Premji-backed firm elevated Srinivas Pallia to the CEO position following the resignation of its former CEO Thierry Delaporte ahead of its fourth-quarter financial results in April.

A week ago, Wipro had appointed Sarat Chand to lead the Northern Europe region, reporting to the Europe chief. Before that, Vinay Firake, who has been with Wipro for 26 years, was promoted to become the next CEO of the APMEA with immediate effect last month.

The Bengaluru-based software exporter also combined Nordics and Benelux operations to form a single Northern Europe region.

Schenk has over 25 years of experience with a focus on leveraging the power of data and technology to create value, innovation and growth.
