#1 I was appointed CEO of Xerox in 2009. I had worked at the company for 29 years at that point, and I had a strong track record. I was well educated. I hadn’t been plucked from a circus sideshow. I had earned the position.

#2 I returned to my old office, which was next to the office Anne had used as CEO. I had a private bathroom and shower, and the company plane saved me hours of travel time.

#3 I had a security person, Ivan Rivera, who had provided security for Anne. He drove me to and from meetings in New York, flew with me domestically in the company plane, and arranged for security when I traveled overseas. I was always safe walking home alone after functions in New York.

#4 The economic crisis that started in 2007 and continued into 2010 is nothing compared to the financial catastrophe caused by the pandemic of 2020. The earlier crisis was difficult, but the pandemic has created financial challenges that make that time seem like child’s play.
