Norwalk-based Xerox Holdings Corp. President and Chief Operating Officer John Bruno will leave the company at the end of August to become CEO of an undisclosed company outside of Xerox.
Bruno, who has been COO since 2022, will remain on Xerox’s board of directors, which he joined last year, to oversee Lexmark International’s integration into Xerox.
Louie Pastor, chief administrative officer and global head of operations, will assume the COO role Sept. 1, Xerox said.
“Leading Reinvention has been one of the most rewarding chapters of my career, and I’m deeply proud of all we’ve accomplished,” Bruno said. “As I transition out of day-to-day operations, I have complete confidence in Louie’s leadership. I remain fully committed to the future of Xerox and look forward to supporting the leadership team and Board as we enter this exciting next phase of growth and transformation.”
Renivention is a new operating model announced in January 2024 that, among other things, involved
cutting the company’s workforce by 15%.
Xerox said Pastor currently leads the Xerox Reinvention Office and the Global Business Services organization as chief administrative officer. In this role, he restructured Xerox’s global operations and improved IT, cybersecurity, analytics and operational efficiency.
Xerox CEO Steve Bandrowczak called Bruno a “true change agent” and thanked him for revamping the company’s operating model and management system, shaping Reinvention, driving the board reconstitution, and leading strategic acquisitions like ITsavvy and Lexmark.
“We wish him well in his new endeavor and look forward to continuing to work with him on the board,” he said. “I’m equally confident in Louie’s ability to guide our next phase of execution, and together their contributions will ensure a smooth transition and sustained momentum.”
Xerox also announced that Jacques-Edouard Gueden has been named chief revenue officer effective Sept. 1 to lead the company’s direct and indirect print go-to-market units. Gueden, a 30-year Xerox veteran, currently serves as chief channel and partner officer, where he leads the company’s indirect print go-to-market unit.
