Maddanna Linganna

Seasoned IT and Workforce Strategy Leader with 25+ years of industry experience, including over 20 years at Wipro and 13+ years in leadership roles across Talent Supply Chain (TSC), Workforce Management (WMG), Talent Acquisition (TA), and Business Operations.

I specialize in aligning talent strategies with evolving business needs to ensure agility, cost-efficiency, and delivery readiness at scale. My core strengths include demand forecasting, demand shaping, capacity governance, bench optimization, internal mobility, and ramp-up execution—driven by analytics and performance metrics.

As a collaborative and cross-functional leader, I have partnered closely with Delivery, Practices, HR, and Finance to orchestrate strategic hiring initiatives, fresher onboarding, global sourcing, reskilling, and retention programs—building scalable, future-ready teams. Known for establishing rigorous governance frameworks and cadence reviews, I enable data-backed decision-making and proactive talent supply planning.

My journey began as a Mainframe Programmer, where I gained 8 years of hands-on technical experience, including 5 years of international exposure across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and Canada. I then transitioned into Quality and PMO roles, leading program assurance and governance for complex transformation initiatives—laying a strong foundation for my later success in workforce strategy and talent leadership.

I am excited to apply for the WFM/TSC/TA role focused on talent strategy and workforce optimization. The opportunity to leverage my expertise in Talent Supply Chain leadership, workforce planning, and AI-driven recruitment aligns closely with your organization’s commitment to scalable operations, fulfillment efficiency, and future-ready talent models.

The expectations outlined for this position are a natural extension of my career. With 25+ years of experience in IT operations—including over 13 years in leadership roles across Talent Supply Chain, Talent Acquisition, and Business Operations—I have led cross-regional workforce transformation initiatives with measurable impact.

In my current role as Head of Fulfillment (TSC + TA), I drive over 1,300 associate allocations quarterly and onboard more than 300 external hires every quarter, maintaining a <21-day time-to-offer cycle. I’ve also improved internal fulfillment rates from 65% to 80% and reduced L1 interview effort by 30% through strategic deployment of AI tools like Berribot and Glider. These achievements reflect my focus on agility, governance, and business-aligned hiring strategy.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring this experience to your leadership team and help advance your workforce transformation goals. Thank you for considering my application—I look forward to the possibility of further discussion.
