US president-elect Barack Obama has chosen Xerox chief executive officer and chairman Anne Mulcahy to assist him in rescuing the US economy on his 17-member Transition Economic Advisory Board (TEAB).
The board had its first meeting last Friday, and has been tasked with helping Obama prepare for his presidency next year.
Mulcahy, who has been widely credited with transforming Xerox's fortunes, joins a number of technology and business leaders.
Among them are Google chief executive officer and chairman Eric Schmidt, Time Warner chairman Richard Parsons and Warren Buffett, the richest man in the world, and chairman and chief executive officer of Berkshire Hathaway.
Rob Abraham, managing director of Bytes Document Solutions, distributor of Xerox to 24 African countries, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Bytes Technology Group, says: 'As Obama is of Kenyan extraction, he is expected to focus significant time and energy on Africa.
'Anne and Xerox are very committed to the African business market.
'When we launched the iGen 3 production press in 2004, she made a special effort to meet with potential customers.
'In addition, Ursula Burns, president of Xerox Corporation, is to visit South Africa later this year.'.
