BANGALORE: Rich Garnick, Head of Wipro's America sales has resigned after four years at Wipro Ltd. With his resignation, Wipro announced the appointment of P R "Sekar" Chandrasekhar as the chief executive of Americas and Europe. Sekar has been leading the European Operations for Wipro.

Commenting on this change, Azim Premji, chairman, Wipro Ltd said, "Sekar brings in a wealth of experience, having worked in multiple strategic and sales roles. Increasingly, we find that our clients work with us across multiple geographies and having a common head for Europe and the Americas will align us better with this trend."

Reflecting on his tenure at Wipro, Rich Garnick said, "Wipro has grown tremendously in its ability to engage and add value to customers, and it has been exciting to have been part of this transformation.

“Given this phenomenal growth and the associated travel, I have not been able to spend enough time with my family and there comes a time when you need to focus on your family and that is the key driver of my decision to leave Wipro,” he added.

Rich will work with Sekar to facilitate a smooth transition. Sekar will be relocating to the US, while working very closely with the strong team that he leads in Europe.
