What Ursala Burns did was break through the glass ceilings. What Xerox did was give her the opportunity. She is the first woman CEO of African-American decent to ever become a major industry leader. In 2017, after her tenure with Xerox, she became CEO of VEON, the world’s 11th largest telecoms service provider by subscribers, in December 2018. She’s also held many other advisory roles, including leading a STEM program for the White House, 2009-2016.
