Xerox appointed Louie Pastor president and chief operating officer, effective September 2025. In the role, Pastor leads business model and operational advancements shaped by macro trends, client feedback, and market opportunities, with a mandate to support Xerox’s long-term profitable and sustainable growth. His responsibilities include the company’s people, talent and culture organization, as well as information technology, cybersecurity, enterprise transformation, global service delivery, revenue operations, marketing, and communications.

Pastor has held a range of senior leadership posts since joining Xerox in 2018, including chief administrative officer, chief transformation officer, chief corporate development officer, and chief legal officer. That mix of experience gives the appointment added significance for a company still balancing operational discipline, service delivery, and strategic reinvention in a changing print and workplace technology market. For Xerox, the move signals continuity in execution while concentrating key transformation functions under an executive already closely associated with the company’s internal reshaping.

Before joining Xerox, Pastor served as deputy general counsel at Icahn Enterprises, where he worked on strategic initiatives involving acquisitions, dispositions, recapitalizations, and investments in public and private companies. He began his career at Simpson, Thacher & Bartlett LLP in New York, advising public companies on mergers and acquisitions, securities offerings, corporate governance, and general corporate matters. Pastor also serves on the board of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and previously served on the board of Herc Holdings, bringing governance and transaction experience to a role that will be watched closely across the print industry.
