Xerox Holdings Corporation (NYSE: XRX), a global workplace technology company, announced the addition of Nichelle Maynard-Elliott and Margarita Paláu-Hernández to the slate of nominees to be elected to its board of directors at its annual shareholders meeting on May 20, 2021. The additions will bring the total number of directors to nine.

“Xerox strives to mirror the markets we serve and that extends to our business leaders and board of directors,” said Xerox Vice Chairman and CEO John Visentin. “Nichelle’s experience evaluating and negotiating complex transactions as a principal and Margarita’s experience starting, scaling and investing in new businesses will support Xerox’s growth strategy. We look forward to benefitting from the knowledge and insights they’ll bring to our company.”

Maynard-Elliott spent more than 25 years as a corporate dealmaker, sourcing, structuring and executing acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnerships, most recently for Praxair, Inc., one of the world’s largest industrial gas companies, where she helped lead the company to its $90 billion merger with Linde PLC in 2019. She also serves on the board of directors of Element Solutions, a global diversified specialty chemicals company.

“Xerox is a global brand best known for inventions that change how people work,” said Maynard-Elliott. “Having gotten to know the Xerox team over the last year, I am excited to join the board and contribute to its mission of creating value for all Xerox stakeholders.”

Margarita Paláu-Hernández is a pioneer in several fields including Spanish media, business and real estate, having founded and managed multiple domestic and international companies. From 2018 to 2019, Paláu-Hernández served as U.S. Representative to the United Nations General Assembly, with the personal rank of Ambassador. She also serves on the board of directors of each of Herbalife Nutrition, a global nutrition company, Conduent Incorporated, a global technology-led business processing services company, and Occidental Petroleum, a global oil and gas exploration and production company.

“Xerox and its leaders are taking bold steps to redefine this important company and how it serves global customers,” said Paláu-Hernández. “I am delighted to have the opportunity to utilize my experience to help accelerate Xerox’s transformation.”

Xerox also announced that, pursuant to its Nomination and Standstill Agreement with Carl C. Icahn and certain of his affiliates, James L. Nelson, chief executive officer of Global Net Lease, Inc., and Steven D. Miller, portfolio manager of Icahn Capital LP, will replace Jonathan Christodoro and Nicholas Graziano, respectively, on the slate of nominees to be elected to its board of directors at its annual shareholders meeting on May 20, 2021.

Xerox Announces Organisation Changes to Support Plans for New Businesses

Tue, 02 Feb 2021 10:57:00 +0000

NORWALK, Conn., Feb. 1, 2021 — Xerox, a global workplace technology company, announced organisational changes to support plans to create three new businesses – Software, Financing and Innovation – aimed at delivering long-term growth in 2021 and beyond.

“We are focused on increasing the breadth of our offerings to better reach new and existing clients and drive organic growth,” said Xerox Vice Chairman and CEO John Visentin. “Our plan to stand up three separate businesses by 2022 will provide greater focus, flexibility, and visibility as we position Xerox for the future.”

Nicole Torraco has been promoted to senior vice president, Xerox Financial Services (XFS), to lead Xerox’s financing business, reporting directly to Visentin. XFS will become a global payment solutions business, aimed at expanding its customer base, creating potential cross-selling opportunities, and helping to support small and medium-sized businesses. Torraco previously served as chief strategy and M&A officer.

Sam Waicberg will lead the Software business as vice president and general manager of Digital Services, reporting to President and Chief Operations Officer Steve Bandrowczak. Sam joined Xerox with the recent acquisition of CareAR, an augmented reality support platform company, where he was co-founder and CEO. The new Software business includes CareAR as well as DocuShare^®, a cloud-based content management system; XMPie, a multi-channel marketing software company; and FreeFlow^®, automation software for production print.

Xerox Expands Software Portfolio with Acquisition of CareAR

Thu, 28 Jan 2021 14:18:00 +0000

NORWALK, Conn., Jan. 28, 2021 - Xerox has expanded its growing software portfolio with the acquisition of CareAR, an augmented reality support platform company that provides real-time access to expertise for customers, employees, and field workers.

With CareAR™ software, remote agents and experts can virtually see the situation and visually guide a solution using a suite of augmented reality tools via desktop, mobile, and smart glass devices, as if they were in-person.

Today, one-third of field service on-site calls require remote expert assistance to resolve issues but cannot effectively communicate the context of the situation. This causes delays, creating negative customer perception while risking loyalty and retention. Equipment downtime can be costly, running organisations between $300,000 and $5 million per hour, depending on the company’s size.¹

“Our software solutions address some of the biggest needs for customers – content management, digital transformation and personalised communications. And now we’ve added enterprise augmented reality,” said Steve Bandrowczak, president and chief operations officer, Xerox. “By combining DocuShare^®, XMPie and CareAR, we have a Software business that can together and apart support a wide range of clients’ needs.”

This expanded Software business will be led by Sam Waicberg, vice president and general manager of Digital Services for Xerox and former CareAR Co-founder and CEO prior to acquisition.

CareAR’s platform seamlessly integrates with workflow leader ServiceNow, ensuring an end-to-end approach to work orders, cases and incidents for full visibility and better troubleshooting.

“CareAR’s augmented reality software, which is integrated and certified with ServiceNow, helps customers remotely view and solve service issues,” says Michael Ramsey, vice president of Customer Workflow Product Management at ServiceNow. “Xerox’s acquisition of this technology can help drive further opportunities to modernise field service, customer support and IT services leveraging the power of the Now Platform and CareAR.”

Today, ServiceNow is collaborating with Deloitte to integrate the CareAR platform for ServiceNow^® into the operations service systems and support workflows for joint clients.

“Xerox’s CareAR augmented reality platform provides us an ability to extend our market leading, industry-focused ServiceNow offerings,” said Asish Ramchandran, principal, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “CareAR represents the next mile in the digital transformation journey of organisations, and together we have the ability to deliver next generation solutions that drive greater outcomes and value for our collective clients.”

CareAR is the latest addition to a series of solutions Xerox has launched to provide digital transformation tools to customers. These include automation and centralisation solutions like DocuShare, a content management platform providing robust tools to automate processes and support cloud-enabled digital transformation; and XMPie, a flexible technology that allows customisation and personalisation of assets across customer touchpoints, both online and offline, for full marketing campaign integration.
