Tech major Wipro Ltd has appointed Subha Tatavarti as its Chief Technology Officer (CTO). The new appointment is part of a long line of onboarding that Wipro has made after the structural overhaul announced in November 2020 as part of Delaporte's vision to accelerate growth for the company.
Subha is moving on from her role at Walmart, where she was leading the product, technology development, and commercialization of enterprise infrastructure along with security, data science, and edge platform. Besides pioneering CTO modernization and streamlining initiatives for Cloud, Platforms, and Frameworks (CPF), Subha has also led various initiatives in domains including SRE and Developer Platforms.
Prior to Walmart, Subha was heading the product, Data & Infrastructure Platform at PayPal. Her focus area in the fintech firmware is to drive transformation through scalable, API-driven interoperable platforms. Machine Learning/Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI) systems operated by Notebooks, Data Integration framework, Data Catalog, and Data ALM were among the products in her portfolio. In her previous roles, Subha has been instrumental in simplifying data and analytics infrastructure.
Subhas was also the co-founder and director of CliMetrics, Inc. She had stints in Abbott Laboratories, Fannie Mae, and BearingPoint. She holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from George Mason University.
Commenting on the appointment, Thierry Delaporte, Chief Executive, Wipro, said, “Subha brings in over two decades of rich experience in the IT industry spanning across product development, delivery, life-cycle management, cloud computing services, data technology, and analytics.” He further added, "All technology teams, such as service transformation, topcoder, robotics, SVIC (Silicon Valley innovation center), technovation center, open innovation, and applied research, will report to her."
Subha's appointment is one of the most important changes to Wipro's leadership following the company's recent reorganization.
