Immediately after Len Lauer, former CEO of Memjet, was passed away unexpectedly at his home in California on April 13, the board of directors has named seasoned print industry executive and Memjet board member Sunil Gupta as new CEO of the company. Sunil is well known in Australia and New Zealand for having restructured Fuji Xerox Australia following the ‘accounting scandal’ that occurred under the aegis of Neil Whittaker. The matter is believed to still be subject to NZ litigation between Fujifilm Holdings and three former FXNZ executives. Gupta proved to be a much-needed steadying hand in the fracas, returned to the US in 2018 and he joined Memjet’s board of directors in January 2019. He has held leadership roles in major print industry businesses, including Fuji Xerox Australia, Fuji Xerox Asia Pacific and Xerox International Partners and Xerox Corporation. With the full confidence of the Memjet board of directors and its senior leadership team, Gupta will carry on Lauer’s legacy of courage, collaboration, and commitment to all stakeholders.
