}}Ursula M. Burns (born September 20, 1958), is an American businesswoman. She is the chairman and CEO of VEON,[2] a senior advisor to Teneo,[2][4] and a non-executive director of Diageo since April 2018. She is also a member of the board of directors of Uber.[5][3][7] In 2009, Burns became CEO of Xerox, the first among black women to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company, and the first woman to succeed another as head of a Fortune 500 company.[8][9] Burns served as CEO of Xerox from 2009 to 2016 and Xerox chairwoman from 2010 to 2017.[4][5] In 2014, Forbes rated her the 22nd most powerful woman in the world.[6] Among other civic positions, she was a leader of the STEM program of the White House from 2009 to 2016, and head of the President's Export Council from 2015 until 2016.[13]

Early life and education

Burns was raised by a single mother in the Baruch Houses, a New York city housing project.[7] Both of her parents were Panamanian immigrants. She attended Cathedral High School, a Catholic all-girls school on East 56th Street in New York. She went on to obtain a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute (now New York University Tandon School of Engineering) in 1980 and a master of science in mechanical engineering from Columbia University a year later.[8][9][10] She has since received additional honorary degrees from New York University,[11] Williams College,[12] the University of Pennsylvania,[13] Howard University,[14] Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,[15] The City College of New York,[16] Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT),[17] the University of Rochester,[18] Xavier University,[19] and Georgetown University.[20]

Business career

Xerox

Burns first worked for Xerox as a summer intern in 1980, and permanently joined a year later, after completing her master's degree. She worked in various roles in product development and planning at the company for the remainder of the 1980s.[28] In January 1990, her career took an unexpected turn when Wayland Hicks, then a senior executive, offered Burns a job as his executive assistant. She accepted and worked for him for roughly nine months before returning home because she was about to be married.[21] In June 1991, she then became executive assistant to then chairman and chief executive Paul Allaire. In 1999, she was named vice president for global manufacturing.[28] In May 2000, Burns was named senior vice president of corporate strategic services and began working closely with soon-to-be CEO Anne Mulcahy, in what both women have described as a true partnership. Two years later, Burns became president of business group operations.[31]

In 2007, Burns assumed the role of president of Xerox.[22] In July 2009 she was named CEO, succeeding Mulcahy, who remained as chairman until May 2010.[23] The first black woman CEO to head a Fortune 500 company,[7] Burns was also the first woman to succeed another woman as head of a Fortune 500 company.[24] Shortly after being named CEO, Burns led the acquisition of Affiliated Computer Services.[4] In 2016, she led Xerox in a split into two independent companies:[5] Xerox Corporation and Conduent Incorporated.[4] She remained chairwoman and CEO of Xerox through the process, and was then appointed chairwoman of the standalone document technology company.[25] After stepping down from the position in December 2016, Burns was succeeded by Jeff Jacobson. She retained the title of chairwoman of the newly formed document technology company[5] until May 2017, when she left the Xerox board and her role as chairperson.[26]

Public service roles

U.S. President Barack Obama appointed Burns to help lead the White House National STEM program in 2009,[42][27] and she remained a leader of the STEM program until 2016.[13] In March 2010 President Obama appointed Burns as vice chair of the President's Export Council,[28][27] which she led from 2015 to 2016.[29]

Board roles

Burns has served on numerous boards, including those of Boston Scientific,[8] FIRST, the National Association of Manufacturers, University of Rochester, the MIT Corporation, the Rochester Business Alliance, and the RUMP Group.[8] She remains a board director of the American Express Corporation,[28][30] Exxon Mobil Corporation,[31] Datto Inc.,[28][32] and Nestlé.[4] In July 2017, it was announced that she would join the board of the beverage company Diageo on April 2, 2018.[33] She joined Teneo as a senior advisor in June 2017.[34] Burns joined the board of directors of Uber in late September 2017.[35]

Veon

In July 2017, Burns was elected chairman of VEON, the world's 11th largest telecoms service provider by suscribers,[36] by its board of directors.[37] With the sudden departure of the CEO in March 2018, she was made executive chairman pending a selection process, and in December 2018, she was appointed as CEO.[38]

Community activities

Burns provides leadership counsel to community, educational and non-profit organizations including FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology), National Academy Foundation, MIT, and the U.S. Olympic Committee, among others.[28]{{better source|date=January 2018}} She is a founding board director of Change the Equation, which focuses on improving the U.S.'s education system in science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).[28][39] She served as vice chairwoman of the executive committee of The Business Council between 2013 and 2014.[40][41] She has delivered the commencement address at universities including MIT,[42] University of Rochester,[43] Xavier University,[44] Howard University,[45] Williams College,[46] and Georgetown University.[20]

She has been listed multiple times by Forbes as one of the 100 most powerful women in the world. In 2015, she was listed as the 29th.[6] In 2018 she was featured among "America's Top 50 Women In Tech".[47]

Personal life

Burns is married to Lloyd Bean, who also worked at Xerox, and they reside in Rochester, New York.[23] She has a daughter named Melissa (born c. 1992) and a stepson named Malcolm (born c. 1989) who attended MIT.[23][48] Burns has been a major donor to Our Lady of Mercy School for Young Women in New York.[49]
