BENGALURU: Wipro has bolstered its leadership team by onboarding several senior regional leaders. It has appointed Pierre Bruno as the CEO of Europe and Stephanie Trautman as the chief growth officer.
Bruno comes from DXC Technology where he was the VP and MD of Southern Europe responsible for all lines of business, including consulting, integration, apps, cloud and cyber security, besides accelerating the company’s shift to digital. He worked with Dell for 14 years in several roles.
Trautman is from Accenture where she was managing director global strategic account lead and northeast diamond client account lead for one of Accenture’s global 150 insurance clients. She was also on Accenture’s Global Leadership Council and the Northeast Leadership team.
But these days, his other job makes going to restaurants a little bit complicated. For 27 years, Brothers has been a referee for the National Basketball Association. He’s one of the most recognizable and longest-serving referees in the sport, one of the few to have officiated in the finals for each of the past nine years.
And during the coronavirus pandemic, the association’s quarantine rules mean he can’t stop by his own Norfolk restaurant even when he’s on a break.

TOI reported details of the planned reorg in November. One of its objectives is to reduce the number of layers in the firm as part of an effort to drive sharper client focus. Delaporte, who took over six months ago after a long stint with Capgemini, believes accountability has been adversely impacted by the multiple layers. There are some 200 SVPs and VPs in the company.
When TOI contacted Wipro on the exits of senior leaders, the company said, “Effective January 1, Wipro replaced its earlier structure of seven strategic business units, service lines and nine geographies with four strategic market units (SMUs) and two global business lines (GBLs). The company has selected leaders who are best suited for the roles in the new structure. Consequently, the top layer of the pyramid has narrowed d
Longtime NBA referee Tony Brothers opens fine-dining spot and jazz club in his Norfolk hometown Matthew Korfhage, The Virginian-Pilot
Tony Brothers opened a restaurant in downtown Norfolk on Tuesday. But he’s not allowed to eat there.
For 15 years or more, the Booker T. Washington high school and Old Dominion University grad had dreamed of opening the sort of place he likes to go while traveling all over the country and world for his day job: tender steaks, live jazz, fine wine and small-batch bourbon.
And now finally, his name is on the sign. Brothers Chops, Seafood and Spirits held its grand opening this week at 200 E. Plume St., with an opening menu of lamb chop lollipops and seafood gnocchi, seasoned steaks and lump crab cakes.
