Happy Women's History Month! The CMO Podcast continues to celebrate key women leaders with Jim's guest this week–Deena LaMarque Piquion, the Chief Growth & Disruption Officer at Xerox, the 118-year-old workplace products and services company. Of course, Xerox holds a special place in brand history; like Kleenex, Google, and Coke, Xerox is one of the few brands that became synonymous with its category.
Today, Xerox is a $7 billion company, and more diversified than the company you likely remember. Its current slogan, “We make Work, Work” says it all. In January, Xerox announced a new operating model and organizational structure to accelerate its progress; Deena was elevated from Chief Marketing Officer to her current position as part of that reorganization.
Deena is a first generation American; she studied Political Science and Government at Vassar, and earned a Masters at Georgetown in Foreign Service. Through a chance meeting at Georgetown with a CEO, Deena started her business career in Miami with Tech Data, a giant IT distribution company. Deena then spent 19 years at Tech Data before joining Xerox in 2019. Tune in for a conversation with a self-titled leader: "Mother, Inspirational Leader and Business-minded Executive. Dedicated to raising kind and productive kids.”
