Information Technology major Wipro on January 25 said it has appointed Douglas Silva as the Country Head for its Brazilian operations.

Silva has more than two decades of experience in the IT industry and has played key roles in spearheading client transformations across various sectors, it added.

He has held senior positions with SAP, Capgemini and TCS, will be based at Alphaville, Brazil and will report to Wipro Latin America Managing Director Mukund Seetharaman, the company said.

"We are excited to have Douglas Silva join us as we look to build on our legacy of success and drive accelerated growth in one of Latin America's most dynamic markets.

Wipro has made a number of strategic investments in Latin America during the past five years given the region's enormous growth potential. The company has built its local presence across the region significantly by hiring a strong and diverse local workforce, acquiring local companies and establishing offices in key economic hubs.
