Ursula Burns Speaks at Bausch & Lomb
 Ursula
M. Burns, President of Business Group Operations at
Xerox Corporation, came to speak to employees of Bausch
& Lomb on Friday, June 10, 2005 as part of the Company's
Speaker Showcase Series. This quarter's event was sponsored
by the African American Network and supported by the
Global Diversity Office and CEO Ron Zarrella.
 Burns
spoke about Xerox's dramatic turnaround and how she
significantly improved the company's financial position
and expanded its portfolio of systems and services.
Ursula also spoke in depth about the company's view
on diversity as a key contributor to its success. She
shared impressive data on Xerox's history of diversity
and progress the company has made in that area. She
also shared how Xerox has a significant representation
of women and people of color in key positions across
the organization, and her belief that the diversity
of the leadership team helped make the turn-around happen.
Burns' contributions to Xerox's powerful success story have earned her accolades from publications like FORTUNE, which named her one of the 50 Most Powerful Women in America, and TIME Magazine, which recognized Ursula as one of the most influential figures in global business.
The Speaker Showcase Series at Bausch & Lomb is a quarterly event which brings high level professionals from all types of industries and helps to re-enforce the link between diversity and our business. The Series was established to showcase women and minorities of significant achievement in business and give Bausch & Lomb executives and managers more exposure to these diverse corporate leaders and their management styles. B&L anticipates that exposure to these diverse styles and topical subjects will elevate audience awareness and present new concepts to stimulate strategic thinking.
