CEO Named for Xerox Corporation

A new CEO has been appointed to lead Xerox’s post-split company -Xerox Corporation.

Xerox’ board of directors appointed Jeff Jacobson to be the Chief Executive Officer of Xerox Corporation following the completion of the company’s planned separation into two publicly traded companies.

After joining Xerox in 2012, Jacobson served as president of Xerox Technology. Prior to Xerox, he served as the president, chief executive officer and chairman of Presstek, a supplier of digital offset printing solutions, where he drove a global expansion program.

Ursula Burns, Chairman and CEO of Xerox said, “Jeff is a great leader with a passion for our business and employees, deep customer relationships and a clear strategic vision to capitalize on the opportunities ahead. During his four years at Xerox, Jeff has driven significant productivity and cost efficiency efforts while maintaining our commitment to innovation, quality and leading technology. With his previous public-company CEO experience and his track record and achievements at Xerox, the Board and I are confident he is the best person to lead Xerox forward.”

“I am honored by the board’s decision to appoint me to lead one of the world’s most iconic companies and confident that we will build a bright future for Xerox on the foundation of disciplined management, operational excellence and customer focus that is in place today. As an independent company and with the benefit of the strategic transformation we are aggressively implementing, we will capture the many opportunities available to us to strengthen core businesses and pursue select growth opportunities,” Jacobson said.

According to theimagingchannel.com, Jacobson will continue his current role until the separation is complete.
