Wipro is a $3.2 billion company, offering services in Consulting, R&D, IT, BPO, Testing and Infrastructure Outsourcing. Wipro has a strong presence in Japan and is the preferred partner of many leading corporations. Alley's role at Wipro will be to drive the growth strategy of its Japan and China operations, and provide leadership and guidance to the team in the areas of customer satisfaction, business understanding and quality.

Hiroshi grew up in Japan for the first 17 years and then moved to the US for his graduation. He spent a large part of his early career in the USA with Honda USA in Sales & Marketing, Engineering, localization and quality control. His work in the next organization gave him the opportunity to move to Japan to head up their Business Strategy Division in the Asia Pacific region to implement a "Just-in-time" delivery system. Subsequently he joined BEA as a sales leader and rapidly rose to the position of Managing Director.
