Wipro Appoints Bruno Schenk as Switzerland Country Head

New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI) 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 René Mulder, who has decided to explore new opportunities beyond Wipro, the company said.

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

"I extend a warm welcome to Schenk, and I look forward to the insights, energy and rigour he will bring to our clients and teams in Switzerland and as part of our Europe Leadership Team," said Pierre Bruno.

"René and Schenk will work together closely over the coming weeks to ensure a smooth transition. I'd like to thank René for his leadership over the last four years, delivering outstanding value and innovation and for building a strong, client-focused team in the region," he said.
