Former Ricoh U.S. President Joins Xerox’s Global Imaging Systems
TAMPA,
Fla. — Global Imaging Systems, a Xerox  company, has named Thomas
Salierno Jr. as senior vice president of acquisitions. Salierno is the
former president and chief operating officer of Ricoh U.S.Over the
course of his 30-year career with Ricoh and Savin Corp., which was
formerly a subsidiary of Ricoh, Salierno held a range of senior
management positions, including chief financial officer, controller,
and group corporate vice president of Ricoh Company Limited. He was
named president and COO of Ricoh’s U.S. division in 2003 and retired
from the company last year.”I have known Tom for more than 20 years and
have always been impressed with his outstanding track record as a
leader and his success in driving growth through multiple sales
channels,” said Michael Shea, Global Imaging president and chief
executive officer. “He’s well connected in our industry and now plays
an integral role on our senior management team to expand Global
Imaging’s reach, an important factor in our future success.”Prior to
Xerox Corporation acquiring Global Imaging in May 2007, Global Imaging
was a reseller of Ricoh and Savin products.”Having worked alongside
Michael and Global Imaging all these years, and having competed against
Xerox, the prospect of joining the combined Global and Xerox was
extremely compelling,” said Salierno. “Global’s commitment to local
service and support for customers combined with Xerox’s leading
technology and services portfolio creates an unequaled force in the
industry.”Salierno will report directly to Shea. He succeeds Todd
Johnson who retired from Global Imaging last month.
