Brittany Hummel is the head of service delivery for Wipro, a leading global information technology, consulting and business process services company. A woman in leadership and technology, she works with cognitive computing, hyper-automation, robotics, cloud, analytics and emerging technologies to help Wipro’s clients adapt to the digital world and make them successful.

At this globally recognized company, she is a key player in identifying solutions and providing solutions-based actions to well-known technology industry giants, while also providing complete technology transformations.

At the heart of her work is servant leadership. Hummel believes in creating opportunities to empower other future leaders. She notes that many women may have trepidations about jumping into such an industry and providing solutions. It’s important for her to pave the way empower them to do just that.

“I have been a huge proponent and champion in providing growth and development to our next generation of senior leaders, especially females in my organization,” she says. “Creating the talent pool, empowering them, pushing them to take risks and implement their solutions and giving them a place at the table has been my drive in this industry.”

With a background in teaching, she transitioned into the corporate world with the help of a mentor.

“I quickly climbed the ranks and it’s because I went after it and I fought for it,” she notes. “Someone gave me the opportunity, I seized it and I’d like to create similar opportunities for others.”

In a male-dominated industry, Hummel’s work ethic and people-first approach have propelled her up the corporate ladder.

“I had a client tell me that I’m the Elle Woods of service delivery. I’m what you call a social butterfly and I put people first,” Hummel says. “Business can be about numbers and dollar signs, but at the end of the day people want authenticity and to be looked at as human – and that’s what I bring.”

At Wipro, she was awarded the Rockstar Rookie Award within her first six months in the role and was subsequently given the prestigious Vision Award for her dedication to growth and development.

“I can land large contracts and provide major solutions, but seeing other leaders achieve their goals and dreams is what brings me the greatest gratification,” she adds.
