MUMBAI: Shares of Wipro Ltd have gained about 8% in the last two trading sessions, after the company announced the appointment of a new chief executive officer (CEO).
The incoming CEO’s strong credentials have impressed investors. Thierry Delaporte, who will assume the charge of CEO and managing director (MD) from 6 July, is a veteran from Europe-based Capgemini Group.
As the outgoing CEO Abidali Neemuchwala told analysts in April, the management change will be an opportunity for Wipro to bring in fresh ideas and thinking in a new world.
Delaporte led Capgemini’s transformation agenda, conceptualizing and driving several strategic programs across several business units.
