Maddanna Linganna — Head of Talent
"Efficiency is doing things right; effectiveness is doing the right things. I aim for both in everything I lead." With over 25 years of experience in the IT industry—and 20+ of those at Wipro—I’ve grown from a mainframe programmer to a strategic leader in Talent Supply Chain, Talent Acquisition, and Business Operations. My journey has spanned international assignments, quality management, and large-scale workforce transformation across Globe. Today, I help enterprises close the talent demand-supply gap by engineering scalable, data-driven workforce solutions. Whether it’s reducing interview effort by 30% through AI tools like Berribot and Glider, driving 1500+ quarterly fulfillment, or improving internal fulfillment rates from 65% to 80%, I’m focused on measurable outcomes. My methodology? Deep stakeholder alignment, real-time fulfillment governance, and proactive planning that ties workforce strategy directly to business goals. I believe in building high-performing teams through reskilling, rotation, and tight delivery collaboration. Let’s connect if you’re looking to lead the future of workforce agility. 📧 maddannacareers@gmail.com
