I have to go with Ursula Burns. Promoted up the ladder for all the wrong reasons.

There were many who were part of the demise… but UB’s ccky attitude, thinking she was better than everyone and that she was Gd’s gift to all of us puts her number 1 in my eyes.
*Rat Eyes Thoman
Ursula was hands down the worst. She solidified the destruction of a once great company. “Rat Eyes” Thomas didn’t help the cause either.
UB wins by a country mile!!
"Ursula didn’t have a chance with the overwhelming racist employee base"
What a foolish statement. Anne told UB before she left that purchasing ACS was a bad idea. She did this for two reasons. One, it was a d-mb idea. Two, even if it was a mediocre idea, there was no way that UB was smart enough to assemble a team capable of integrating the two companies. It was doomed from the start. Her race didn't matter, her inexperience did.
Steve B is way below average, but most of you are not understanding what he was hired to do. Bruno seems intelligent at least.
"Ursula didn’t have a chance with the overwhelming racist employee base"
D-mbest comment to date. Bought ACS without due diligence. We are still paying the guy that fleeced her. She was the one who didn't understand services. Desperate for revenue growth in the segment she signed any contract without regard to margins. UB was the worst and you are looking at the result today.
Steve Bee - 130%.
100% from Him and gets
10% from Ann, Paul, and Rick
What a Joke. A Multi-Million Dollar talker… he has said the same nothingness for over a year
Obama canned her from his following when it was reported to him she was outsourcing jobs while on his committee to keep jobs in the USA.
It was evident from her yearly town hall meetings she did not like or appreciate the Xerox workforce . “If I need you, you will have a job. If I don’t, you won’t.”
What was Ursula's phony engineering degree?
Ursula didn’t have a chance with the overwhelming racist employee base. Just look at many of the comments. She tried to make Xerox relevant but it failed because 98% of Xerox employees didn’t have a clue what business services were. Xerox had, and sadly still has, an underwhelming staff who are technology dinosaurs. Was it Ann who sold off the Leesburg training center and surrounding land? That was the beginning of the end. Destroyed a cultural center and gave away the most valuable real estate in the country.
So many bad ones!
Impossible to determine the worst due to the snowball effect of all the poor decisions and policies.
From Paul-A on they have been terrible.
It’s a tie. Rick Thoman and Jeff Jacobson
Ursula followed closely by Allaire
This sums it up 👇
Don’t forget that Ursula was Allaire’s hand chosen, personal assistant back in the day. Also, her choice as CEO was ordained by the power elites. Watch Obama’s first stare of the Union and you’ll see Ursula sitting next to Michelle. Not a coincidence.
Ursula was the worst, hands down. From the Ebonics lingo (aks instead of ask) to the phony Engineering degree to overpaying for ACS to “walkin’ away from technology” (her words) — nobody did more to ki-l Xerox than she did.
UB was the meanest most clueless CEO in the history of Xerox …Her town halls were a laughing stock. Management begged people to attend..
Trick question: Steve Jobs.
"The BEST - David Kearns...by far!!"
David Kearns was amazing, I loved the guy, but the best was Joe Wilson. Read the book. He invented Xerox, then made it a reality.
Burns for sure!!!
Thoman was not a bad CEO. He was an outsider who was never accepted by the incestuous Xerox executives.
The BEST - David Kearns...by far!!
Rick Thoman
Allaire
Ursula Burns in a runaway…
UB was a woke experiment and we all know how those end (disastrous)
Ray's cyst
Definitely Ursula, but Anne chose her. Jacobsen couldn't handle an activist investor and took off. Joe Wilson was the best one. Allaire was distracted. The new guys are actually doing what they are supposed to be doing.
Imho UB "was" the worse till this current Uncle Carl crew.
Ursula for sure! If we are talking the Xerox CEO's. This isn't Xerox since Carl shipped in Johnny V. Baldy was hired by Johnny V so it's still Icahn Xerox. One thing I'll give Ursula is that although she way overpaid for ACS.....like WAY overpaid for it, she at least tried something. Crooked Paul Allaire certainly is riding shotg-n with U.B.
