Louie Pastor Appointed Xerox President and COO as John Bruno Exits for External Opportunity

Xerox Holdings Corp., the US-based document technology leader, has announced significant leadership transitions within its executive ranks. Effective September 1, Louie Pastor will assume the role of President and Chief Operating Officer, stepping into the position vacated by John Bruno’s departure.

Bruno, who has held the President and COO title since 2022 and joined the Xerox Board of Directors in 2024, is transitioning to pursue a chief executive opportunity beyond the company. He will continue in his operational responsibilities through the end of August and subsequently join the Integration Committee as its chair—a newly established body tasked with managing the strategic combination between Xerox and Lexmark.

Pastor’s Background and Operational Impact

Prior to his promotion, Pastor served as Chief Administrative Officer and Global Head of Operations at the US corporation. In these capacities, he has demonstrated substantial impact through the leadership of the Xerox Reinvention Office and oversight of Global Business Services. His tenure has been marked by comprehensive restructuring of worldwide operations and the implementation of enterprise-wide enhancements spanning IT infrastructure, cybersecurity protocols, analytics capabilities, and operational performance metrics.

Additional Executive Reshuffle

Complementing these leadership moves, Xerox has promoted Jacques-Edouard Gueden to Chief Revenue Officer, a position that takes effect on the same date. Gueden, a 30-year veteran of the company, transitions from his current post as Chief Channel and Partner Officer. In his expanded role, Gueden will oversee the company’s complete go-to-market ecosystem, encompassing both direct and indirect print distribution channels.

These organizational adjustments reflect Xerox’s commitment to strengthening its operational foundation and revenue generation capabilities during a period of significant corporate transformation.
