With this move, Wipro has brought back the post of COO – a role it had discontinued after the retirement of BN Bhanumurthy in July last year.
Choudhary will work closely with Wipro’s leadership teams across the organization on transformation initiatives, according to the Bengaluru-based IT company.
He will manage global business operations, delivery excellence, chief information officer (CIO), chief information security officer (CISO), and enterprise risk management functions. Amit joins Wipro after a 15-year stint at Capgemini, where he was the chief operating officer for the financial services business unit and a member of its Executive Committee. Prior to Capgemini, Choudhary held various leadership positions at Boston Consulting Group and Cadence Design Systems. He is based in New York.
“Amit brings an incredible mix of strategic thinking and credible execution,” said Thierry Delaporte, chief executive officer and MD at Wipro. “With his experience and unique understanding, Wipro will continue to build a business that delivers to the needs of our stakeholders. Amit will be responsible for expanding our transformation and driving operational excellence, doubling down on what is most important to our company, and where we can deliver the greatest impact for our clients.”
“I am very excited to join Wipro, and look forward to working with the incredible team. I hope to bring new perspectives that will further strengthen the organization’s core business, while deepening the value we offer to our clients,” said Choudhary.
