Edgile Promotes Gretchen Wichmann to Partner

Gretchen Wichmann, the leader of Edgile’s fast growing Identity practice, has been promoted to Partner. This is our first partner promotion since Edgile’s acquisition by Wipro Limited—a pivotal milestone in Edgile’s growth journey.

“Wipro acquired Edgile in large part because of the outstanding quality of the team,” said Tony Buffomante, Senior Vice President & Global Head of Cybersecurity & Risk Services, Wipro Limited. “Gretchen embodies all the qualities of strong leadership. She knows identity security inside and out. Even more important, she understands the value of partnering with clients, which is why Edgile is so successful at building modern, transformational identity programs.”

“Gretchen holds the best traits of an Edgile leader,” said Don Elledge, Edgile CEO. “She’s done a tremendous job leading the talented people on our Identity team and developing relationships with many of our most strategic client accounts and partners. Her identity expertise coupled with exceptional people skills is helping to grow the practice at a time when identity security has become a critical part of enterprise risk management.”

Under Wichmann’s leadership, Edgile’s Identity team has created many innovative service offerings. Using a strategy-first approach built around key business drivers, her team focuses on helping organizations adopt modern identity solutions in the cloud.

Wichmann also leads by advocating for women in the identity field. She mentioned she “was inspired by the relevance of a position statement at a recent Women in Identity event that suggested our teams should be as diverse as the problems they are trying to solve.”
