Pitney Bowes Announces Leadership Transition - Seite 2

Ms. Guilfoile, Chair of the Board, commented:

“For more than 100 years, Pitney Bowes has embraced change in order to best serve its clients, partners, employees and shareholders. This philosophy has allowed Pitney Bowes to evolve from producing analog postage-stamping machines to now providing technology-enabled mailing, sortation and shipping solutions to an expansive global client base. After careful deliberation and consideration of various factors, the Board determined it is the right time to initiate a search for our next permanent Chief Executive Officer and install a qualified interim leader who can continue to advance key initiatives and pursue new opportunities for value creation. Jason’s collaborative leadership style and strong industry experience give us confidence that he will be able to drive tangible progress across the organization and facilitate a smooth transition for all of the Company’s stakeholders.”

Ms. Guilfoile added:

“On behalf of the entire Board, I want to take this opportunity to thank Marc for his many years of dedication and leadership. Marc fostered commitments to innovation and client-centricity that will endure at Pitney Bowes. He also successfully led us through the challenging Covid-19 pandemic, which had a profound impact on the global supply chain. We appreciate his many contributions to our transformation and wish him all the best.”

Mr. Lautenbach stated:

“It has been an honor and a privilege to lead this iconic company for over a decade. As proud as I am of what has been accomplished, I am particularly proud of our team, who has always been guided by our ‘true north’ – our value of doing the right thing the right way. I am confident that this value will continue to guide our Company’s journey going forward.”

Mr. Dies concluded:

“I am extremely excited to take on the interim Chief Executive Officer role and want to thank the Board for placing its trust in me. All of us at Pitney Bowes know that we are part of a historic brand that plays a pivotal role in helping companies meet their most critical mailing and shipping needs. I look forward to working with all my colleagues to identify new opportunities and solve challenges head-on, leading to positive impacts for our clients, shareholders, partners and employees. This is a very exciting time for Pitney Bowes, and I intend for this to be a highly productive transition period as we drive tangible progress and support value creation for all our stakeholders.”
