Xerox Corp. on Tuesday said Ashok Vemuri will lead its business services company after the technology giant splits itself in two later this year.

Mr. Vemuri, 48 years old, will join Xerox July 1 as chief executive of Xerox Business Services LLC and an executive vice president of Xerox until the separation.

Xerox in January announced plans to break itself into two companies and give three board seats to activist investor Carl Icahn, reversing an effort by the century-old company to marry business services with its copiers and printers. Xerox will divide into separate publicly traded companies: one containing its document management businesses and another housing its services operations.

The business services division will include representatives of Mr. Icahn on its board.

Mr. Vemuri was CEO of iGate Corp. from September 2013 to October 2015, where he completed a strategic sale of the company to French computer services and consulting company Capgemini. Previously, he was a senior executive and board member at Infosys, heading global manufacturing and engineering services.

Last month, Xerox said CEO Ursula Burns, who has run the company since 2009, will give up that title after the split and become chairman of the legacy hardware business. Ms. Burns, 57, has spent her entire career at the document company, working her way up from an internship in 1980 to become the first black woman to lead a Fortune 500 company.

The split is on track to be completed by the end of the year.
