Xerox Announces President & COO Changes

Xerox Holdings Corporation has announced a major leadership transition, with President and Chief Operating Officer John Bruno set to leave his current role to pursue a CEO position outside the company.

Bruno, who has served as President and COO since 2022 and joined the Xerox Board in 2024, will step down from daily operations on August 31 but will remain on the Board of Directors. In his board role, he will chair a newly created Integration Committee overseeing the merger of Xerox and Lexmark.

Effective September 1, Louie Pastor, currently Chief Administrative Officer and Global Head of Operations, will take over as President and COO. Pastor has led the Xerox Reinvention Office and the Global Business Services organization, implementing a global operational restructuring and improvements in IT, cybersecurity, analytics, and efficiency.

Bruno described leading Xerox’s Reinvention initiative as “one of the most rewarding chapters” of his career, adding that he is “deeply proud of all we’ve accomplished.” He said he has full confidence in Pastor’s leadership and remains “fully committed to the future of Xerox” in his continued role on the Board.

Xerox CEO Steve Bandrowczak praised Bruno as “a true change agent,” citing his role in revamping the company’s operating model, driving the Board’s reconstitution, and leading acquisitions including ITsavvy and Lexmark. Bandrowczak also expressed confidence in Pastor’s ability to guide the company’s next phase, saying their combined contributions would “ensure a smooth transition and sustained momentum.”

The company also announced that Jacques-Edouard Gueden will become Chief Revenue Officer on September 1, leading Xerox’s direct and indirect print go-to-market units. A 30-year veteran of the company, Gueden currently serves as Chief Channel and Partner Officer.

Bandrowczak noted that Gueden’s “deep understanding of our global client base, partner ecosystem, and go-to-market model” makes him well-suited to shape the sales strategy of the merged Xerox-Lexmark entity. He added that under Gueden’s leadership, the company aims to strengthen its position across channel, SMB, and enterprise markets while driving long-term growth.
