Ursula Burns
厄休拉·伯恩斯
CEO of Xeroxwww.examｗ.com
Burns first worked for Xerox in 1980 as a summer intern and joined a year later after her master's degree. She worked in various roles in product development and planning throughout her 20s. Her career took an unexpected turn when in January 1990 a senior executive offered her a job as his executive assistant. Initially fearing that this would be a dead-end job, she accepted and rose through the ranks, becoming executive assistant to the chairman in 1991 and eventually becoming vice president for global manufacturing in 1999. In 2000 she was named a senior vice president. She was named CEO in July 2009 succeeding Mulcahy. In July, Burns became the first black female CEO on the Fortune 500. With 2008 profits down and the stock trailing the S&P, this straight-talking operator is charged with strengthening a company that's still rebounding from near bankruptcy in 2001.
伯恩斯于1980年以暑期实习生的身份开始在Xerox工作，一年后拿到硕士学位后正式加盟该公司。30岁之前她在产品开发和策划部门担任了多项职务。1990年1月，一位高管让她担任其行政助理后，她的工作发生了意想不到的变化。她起初担心这工作没什么出路，但她还是接受了，并逐渐升职，于 1991年成为总裁行政助理，最终于1999年成为负责全球制造业务的副总裁。2000年，她被任命为高级副总裁。2009年7月，她接替穆卡西，出任公司首席执行官。同年7月，她成为《财富》500强中首位黑人女首席执行官。2008年公司利润下降，股票表现也不如标普指数，这位快人快语的掌舵人肩负着增强公司实力的重任，自2001年几乎破产以来，公司仍处在恢复阶段。
