Anne Mulcahy , CEO of the Xerox Corporation, one of the most enduring brands in business today, discusses social responsibility, ethics, and business. The Xerox Corporation is the global leader in document management solutions with close to $16 billion in annual revenues. At its helm is Mulcahy, a 28-year veteran of Xerox who began her career selling copiers in Boston. Over the last three years, Mulcahy has led the company through a massive transformation, reinventing Xerox into an innovative technology and services enterprise that helps businesses deploy smarter document management strategies and find better ways to work. Building on Xerox's rich heritage of social responsibility, Mulcahy ensures that the company's business decisions and actions are aligned with a clear set of corporate values. Mulcahy was named CEO of Xerox on August 1, 2001, and chairman on January 1, 2002. Mulcahy most recently was Xerox president and chief operating officer from May 2000 through July 2001. She began her Xerox career as a field sales representative in 1976 and assumed increasingly responsible sales and senior management positions. In addition to the Xerox board, Mulcahy is a member of the boards of directors of Target Corporation and Citigroup, and is a member of The Business Council. She is also a board member of Catalyst, a nonprofit organization supporting women in business. This lecture is presented by the Center for Business Ethics at Bentley College, through the generous support of Raytheon Company.
