New executive team moves up at Unisys

Article Abstract:

James A. Unruh is the new president and chief operating officer at Unisys Corp, and Curtis A. Hessler is vice chairman. Unruh will likely succeed W. Michael Blumenthal, the company's 63-year-old chairman and CEO, who has no immediate plans to retire. Unruh is experienced in the financial operations of the company, and has the difficult task of getting Unisys out of its severe financial problems. Blumenthal's top priority for Unruh is to strengthen Unisys's financial position by improving profitability and cash flow. The company has been plagued by excessive inventory and cost structure. Unruh, 48, and executive vice president since 1986, has been responsible for Unisys's worldwide commercial marketing operation, worth $7.5 billion. Hessler, 45, was formerly a senior vice president. He will continue as chief financial officer.
