We see very few women leaders in technology driven companies so when Xerox appointment Pui Chi Li as the Head of marketing for Middle East and Africa (MEA) last year, we gave her time to settle down before asking her about her new role. Chi, the first woman to hold this position, will oversee Xerox marketing and communications activities, technology product and offering management, strategic pricing, sales enablement and lead generation initiatives across the MEA region.
Chi has been with the company for long as she joined Xerox in 2007 as a product manager for the developing markets region where she oversaw the product life cycle management printers and A4 multifunction devices. A few years later, Chi assumed the role of business line manager for Entry Products, managing high volume business in the MEA and the Central Eastern Europe Distributor Group (CDG) region by working with partners to drive business growth. We find out more.
