Corporate Vice President and Chief Information Officer
The Document Company, Xerox
(profile at the time of induction in 1997)
Patricia Wallington was responsible for the 1994 Xerox Global Outsourcing contract for $3.2 billion. Covering a ten-year period, it is the largest such contract to date and the first to be global in scope. In two years, Xerox completely transformed its information technology environment by entirely replacing a proprietary infrastructure with new industry standards, hardware, software and work practices across 700 sites and 60,000 seats worldwide.
Ms. Wallington was honored with the prestigious CIO of the Year Award in 1994. She was also named to the Top 100 Women in Computing that same year and has been named among the Top 50 Technology Drivers. She holds the honor of being the first female president for the Society for Information Management.
Within Xerox and in the private sector, Ms. Wallington has been a role model for other professional women. In 1995, two members of her staff received Top 100 Women in Computing Awards.
