Pitney-Bowes (PBI) Appoints Bob Gold as CFO

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) today announced the appointment of Robert (Bob) Gold as the Company’s next Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), effective March 10, 2025.

The appointment of Mr. Gold follows an extensive executive search process with an independent, nationally recognized recruitment firm.

After assessing and interviewing a large group of qualified candidates, leadership determined that Mr. Gold is the ideal individual to serve as the Company’s new permanent CFO.

Lance Rosenzweig, Pitney Bowes’ Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“Bob’s background overseeing strong corporate finance functions at a diverse set of companies makes him the ideal CFO for Pitney Bowes as we enter the next phase of our value creation journey. In addition to bringing deep experience in areas like capital allocation, cost management and financial planning, Bob possesses the background of an operator and a strong spirit of proactivity. I look forward to working with him and the rest of our organization to build on the Company’s existing momentum in 2025 and beyond. This is an exciting time to be at Pitney Bowes.”

Mr. Rosenzweig added:

“On behalf of everyone at Pitney Bowes, I also want to take the opportunity to thank John for his many years of service and significant contributions to recent transformation efforts. John embodied the best of the organization and made a positive mark at every turn, whether during his time as the SendTech CFO or throughout this past year as the Company’s Interim CFO. He was an instrumental partner to me as we executed on our 2024 strategic initiatives and started driving meaningful value for shareholders. I wish him the very best as he retires and starts a new chapter.”

Additional details pertaining to Mr. Gold’s appointment and Mr. Witek’s retirement will be filed on a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
