Wipro Limited, a global leader in technology services and consulting, unveiled a significant leadership transition within its organization. Anne-Marie (Annie) Rowland, previously the Managing Partner of Capco’s business in the United Kingdom and Ireland, has been appointed as the new Chief Executive Officer of Capco. This strategic move, effective April 1, 2024, is poised to steer Capco into its next growth phase, reflecting Wipro’s commitment to maintaining its competitive edge in the consulting industry.

Lance Levy, Capco’s CEO for nearly a decade, will transition to a new role as Strategic Advisor, continuing to shape Capco’s strategic direction and Wipro’s broader consulting strategy. Under Levy’s stewardship, Capco has cemented its position as a leading full-service transformation consultancy, contributing significantly to Wipro’s growth trajectory.

Wipro CEO and Managing Director Thierry Delaporte expressed his gratitude towards Levy for his leadership and welcomed Rowland to her new role. Delaporte’s endorsement highlights the company’s confidence in Rowland’s ability to lead Capco through an evolving and dynamic market, fostering deep collaboration and accelerating the delivery of new therapies to patients.

Annie Rowland brings to the table 14 years of experience at Capco, marked by deep consulting expertise in business change management, innovation, and transformation. Her leadership is expected to harness Capco’s potential further, leveraging its unique position as a trusted advisor and industry leader in financial services management consultancy. Rowland’s appointment is not just a testament to her past achievements but also to her vision for Capco’s future, focusing on innovation, client relationships, and a culture of creativity.

Capco’s acquisition by Wipro in 2021 signified a strategic move to bolster its consulting capabilities, marrying Capco’s deep domain expertise with Wipro’s global scale and technological prowess. This partnership is set to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies and evolving business landscapes, ensuring clients’ success in the future.
