Xerox has appointed Steven Bandrowczak as its new chief executive officer following the sudden death of John Visentin in June 2022.

Mr Bandrowczak joined the company in 2018 as president and chief operations officer – responsible for developing global operations, as well as the company’s business support functions, including business strategy, product and service delivery, customer billing, and information technology.

James Nelson, chairman of Xerox’s board of directors, said, ‘Steve has a proven track record of delivering results by leveraging digital platforms to drive market share and increase profitability. He also has continually stepped up when Xerox needed him most and demonstrated his ability to lead with passion and empathy. The board has full confidence that Steve is the right leader to move Xerox forward.’

Mr Bandrowczak, who previously served as the senior vice president of telecommunication media at Hewlett Packard, said, ‘I see great potential for our company, and I’m honoured to work alongside all of my Xerox colleagues as we build momentum toward the future.’

During his career, Mr Bandrowczak has also held senior leadership positions for various global companies, including Avaya, Nortel, Lenovo, DHL and Avnet.
