Pitney Bowes Inc. has announced that Brent Rosenthal will become the company's new independent Chair, effective October 3, 2025. The appointment replaces Milena Alberti-Perez, who stepped down to focus on new opportunities in the media sector and adjacent industries. This transition comes amidst a comprehensive strategic review led by the company's new CEO, Kurt Wolf, who assumed the role in May 2025.

Rosenthal brings extensive experience in technology, media, and telecom companies, with over 30 years in the field. He is the founder of Mountain Hawk Capital Partners, LLC, an investment fund focused on small and microcap equities. Rosenthal currently serves on the boards of Horizon Kinetics Corporation, Syntec Optics Holdings Inc., and several Puerto Rico closed-end mutual funds, where he is the Lead Independent Director. His experience includes roles as a partner in affiliates of W.R. Huff Asset Management and director of mergers and acquisitions for RSL Communications Ltd. Additionally, he served emerging media companies for Deloitte & Touche LLP.

Alberti-Perez, who joined Pitney Bowes' board in 2023 and became its non-executive board chair in October 2024, has decided to step down to pursue new opportunities in the media sector. She currently serves on the boards of National Public Radio Inc. and Scholastic Corp.

The appointment of Rosenthal follows a period of strategic review under Wolf's leadership. Pitney Bowes' second-quarter revenue slipped 5% to $493 million from a year ago, but the company posted a profit of $35.4 million, reversing a $2.9 million loss. The strategic review aims to produce a clear strategy for maximizing shareholder value amidst falling demand for mail services.
