Last month Xerox announced a remarkable leadership transition underway.
After a 33 year career at the global document management company including eight very challenging and successful years as CEO, Anne Mulcahy (56), will be passing the helm to Ursala Burns (50), a 30 year company veteran and the current president.
Not only is this a groundbreaking woman to woman leadership transition, but Burns will also be the first black female CEO to run a large publicly traded company.
Congratulations are in order to Mulcahy, Burns and Xerox in blazing the trail and making American corporate leadership history!
