Exhibit 99.1
Pitney Bowes Announces Election of Brent Rosenthal as Independent Chair of its Board of Directors
Thanks Milena Alberti-Perez for Her Leadership as Independent Chair and Numerous Contributions to the Company’s Successful Turnaround
STAMFORD, Conn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)—October 3, 2025 --Pitney Bowes Inc.

Mr. Rosenthal succeeds Milena Alberti-Perez, who served with distinction as independent Chair and, prior to that, as a highly engaged independent director during the Company’s successful multi-year turnaround. Ms. Alberti-Perez, who currently serves on the boards of directors of organizations such as National Public Radio, Inc. and Scholastic Corp. (NASDAQ: SCHL), decided to step down from the Pitney Bowes Board to focus on new opportunities within the media sector and adjacent industries.
Mr. Rosenthal commented:
“On behalf of our Board and everyone at Pitney Bowes, I want to thank Milena for her enormous contributions over the past two-and-a-half-years. Milena joined the Board when the Company was at a pivotal crossroads in 2023. She immediately began working with other independent directors to drive financial changes, operational improvements and a strategic repositioning of the enterprise. As a result of these efforts, we are now a stronger and more focused Pitney Bowes that is driving greater value for clients, partners and shareholders. I am honored to take the baton from Milena at this exciting point in time.”
Ms. Alberti-Perez added:
“I am proud to have played a role in the successful turnaround of this historic Company, which is now on very strong footing and possesses many tailwinds for long-term success. I wish the Board, the management team and the thousands of devoted Pitney Bowes employees the very best as they move forward. As a stockholder of the Company, I look forward to watching the Company build on its significant momentum. Pitney Bowes has a very bright future.”
Additional details pertaining to today’s announcements will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on a Form 8-K.
