Thierry Delaporte

Appointed CEO

Paris, Île-de-France, France

With nearly 30 years of experience in the IT services industry, Thierry brings astute leadership and deep experience of turning around lagging businesses, driving growth, and leading and inspiring cross-cultural teams. Until early-April 2024, he was CEO and Managing Director of Wipro, leading over 240,000 employees across 65 countries, and growing revenues by 35% over a four-year term through a massive transformation effort. Under his direction, Wipro generated 25% more profit than in the previous 4-year period, and more than doubled the value of the company’s stock and market-capitalization.

Prior to Wipro, Thierry held various leadership positions in Capgemini, including Chief Operating Officer and a member of the Group Executive Board.

Passionate about meaningful change, Thierry co-founded Life Project 4 Youth in 2009, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the professional and social integration of young adults living in extreme poverty.
