As an independent company and with the benefit of the strategic transformation we are aggressively implementing, we will capture the many opportunities available to us to strengthen core businesses and pursue select growth opportunities,\u201d Jacobson<\/em> said.<\/p>\n

\u201cJeff is clearly the right leader for Xerox\u2019s document technology company,\u201d said Ann Reese<\/em><\/a>, Xerox\u2019s lead independent director. <\/em>\u201cThe board employed a rigorous internal and external search and undertook a thoughtful process to identify the right talent.
