About Wizeline
Wizeline is a global technology services company specializing in digital transformation and product development. Founded in 2013 by Bismarck Lepe, a former Google employee and co-founder of Ooyala, the company was established to help organizations build better products faster. Lepe, a Mexican-American and Stanford University graduate with a degree in Economics, leveraged his Silicon Valley experience to create the company. Initially self-funded and headquartered in San Francisco, Wizeline started with a SaaS product for project management before shifting its focus. The company identified a broader market need for skilled software developers and expanded its services to include software development, AI, cloud solutions, and data engineering.
Read full description
The company's business model centers on providing customized technology solutions through project-based fees, long-term service contracts, and consulting. Wizeline serves a diverse client base, including Fortune 500 companies, startups, and enterprises across various sectors like media, financial services, and healthcare. It offers services through several engagement models: dedicated 'Studio' teams embedded within an organization, autonomous 'Project' pods for specific initiatives, and flexible 'Staff' augmentation to fill skill gaps. A key part of its strategy involves modernizing clients' core technologies, enhancing data-driven capabilities, and improving user experience. In September 2021, Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), a global investment group, acquired a majority stake in the company.
Bismarck Lepe served as CEO from the company's inception until April 2024, when he transitioned to the role of Executive Chairman. Andres Angelani, a seasoned technology executive, then took over as CEO. Wizeline has also focused on community development, notably through Wizeline Academy, launched in 2016 to offer free courses and certifications in high-demand tech skills. Lepe also founded Startup GDL, a non-profit aimed at fostering innovation in Guadalajara, which became a key engineering hub for Wizeline.
