Indian IT giant Wipro on Monday said it has appointed Bruno Schenk as the new country head and managing director for Switzerland.
This appointment comes as part of a series of leadership changes within the company. Schenk will report to Pierre Bruno, Wipro’s Europe CEO, taking over from René Mulder, who has decided to leave the company to pursue other opportunities after joining in February 2021.
Bruno Schenk joins Wipro with an extensive background, having previously served as the CEO and country head at Cloudreach, an Atos company, and as the leader of Eviden Switzerland, an Atos business unit specialising in digital, big data, and security solutions.
Schenk brings over 25 years of experience in leveraging data and technology to drive innovation and growth.
This appointment follows several recent senior leadership changes at Wipro. Srinivas Pallia was recently promoted to CEO after the resignation of former CEO Thierry Delaporte. Additionally, Sarat Chand was appointed to head the Northern Europe region, and Vinay Firake, a 26-year veteran of Wipro, was promoted to CEO of the APMEA (Asia Pacific, India, Middle East, and Africa) region.
In addition to these leadership changes, Wipro has restructured its operations, combining the Nordics and Benelux regions to form a single Northern Europe division. These moves are part of Wipro's strategic efforts to strengthen its leadership team and drive regional growth.
“I’m delighted to be joining Wipro at an important time in their journey. I look forward to meeting new colleagues, clients, and partners in the region to boost their growth and realise their digital transformation ambitions,” said Schenk in a statement.
