Ursula Burns Headlines Prism NYU Fundraiser Luncheon

Guy Gecht, CEO of EFI, presented the Prism Award for distinguished leadership to Xerox Chairman and CEO Ursula Burns. During her acceptance speech, Burns briefly recounted her 33-year career with Xerox starting out as a mechanical engineering summer intern, before progressively moving up within the organization. She was named CEO in July of 2009 and, shortly after, made the largest acquisition in Xerox history: the $6.4 billion purchase of Affiliated Computer Services (ACS), catapulting the company’s presence in the $500 billion business services market and extending Xerox’s reach into the diverse area of business process and IT outsourcing.
