24. Jeff Jacobson
CEO,
Xerox
Jeff Jacobson took control of Xerox after it split from business process services provider Conduent at the start of the year. Since then, Jacobson has overseen the largest product launch in Xerox's 110-year history, complete with 29 printers and multifunction devices meeting the needs of both the enterprise and SMB. Through it all, Xerox has remained committed to the channel, with a pledge to transfer tens of thousands of direct accounts to partners and the formation of a new global channel leadership role.
