Comment: The only substantial change from the last declined version was the addition of an Forbes contribution article, which is not an acceptable source under WP:FORBESCON. As the last reviewer has recommended, some other significant coverage from independent and reliable sources should be added in order to reinforce the subject's notability.

- Comment: The best source is the ZDNet article which provides in-depth analysis about Delaporte as CEO. Some of the other sources are standard announcements when Delaporte became CEO and some sources are standard profiles, both of which are considered trivial coverage. Other sources are not about Delaporte. They are about the company or what Delaporte says about the company, which are not independent nor in-depth. Largely the sources cited are fine for verification purposes but do not contribute to notability, except ZDNet as noted but that alone is not enough. S0091 (talk) 16:47, 26 June 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: The awards and achievements section is less than neutral Zippybonzo | talk 20:32, 1 April 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Probably notable, but that's a lot of [citation needed] tags for a very short article. At least some of them seem like they can be sourced to the existing sources. Rusalkii (talk) 02:37, 25 December 2021 (UTC)

Thierry Delaporte (born Thierry Dominique Marie François Delaporte on 28 May 1967) is a French business executive who currently serves as the CEO & Managing Director of the Indian IT services company Wipro. Before succeeding Abidali Neemuchwala as Wipro CEO in July 2020, he was the Chief Operating Officer at Capgemini.[2] Delaporte is the first non-Indian CEO in Wipro's history.[3] Delaporte is also the co-founder of Life Project 4 Youth, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the professional and social integration of young adults living in extreme poverty.[4]
Life and Education[edit]
Delaporte was born in France. He studied law at Paris-Sorbonne University (1986-1990) and then graduated from Sciences Po Paris (Institut des Études Politiques de Paris) in 1992, where he majored in Finance and Economy.[5]
Career[edit]
Arthur Andersen[edit]
Before his stint at Capgemini, Delaporte was an internal auditor at the now defunct audit company Arthur Andersen.[6]
Capgemini[edit]
He worked at Capgemini for a total of 25 years from 1995 until 2020. During this time, he held the posts of CEO of Global Financial Services, led their Latin American business unit and served as COO.[7]
Wipro[edit]
Delaporte replaced Abidali Neemuchwala as the CEO & Managing Director of Wipro in July 2020.[8] Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Delaporte worked remote for more than a year and was unable to meet with most of his senior leadership team in person until November 2021.[9] Under Delaporte, Wipro has executed a number of notable acquisitions, including the March 2021 acquisition of London-based tech consultancy Capco in a $1.45 billion dollar deal, the largest acquisition in Wipro's history and the $230 million acquisition of Texas-based cybersecurity firm Edgile in December 2021.[10][11]
Delaporte has focused on sustainability as a key business imperative for Wipro.[12] During his time as CEO, Wipro has joined or founded a number of sustainability and Net Zero initiatives, including the cross-sectoral Net Zero coalition Transform to Net Zero alongside Microsoft, Nike, Inc, Starbucks, Unilever, Maersk, Mercedes Benz, Danone, and the EDF.[13] On Earth Day 2021, Wipro also committed to achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040, with an intermittent reduction of 55% by 2030.[14] In October 2021, Wipro's Net Zero plans were certified by the Science-based Targets Initiative.[15]
In FY22, Thierry Delaporte led Wipro to cross $10 billion in annual revenues.[16]
