UPS has appointed Shannon Eisenhardt, Reckitt Benckiser Group’s chief financial officer, to its board and Audit Committee, effective immediately. The move expands the board to 11 members and adds a director with senior finance experience at Reckitt and Nike.
- Eisenhardt, 52, is an executive director and Group CFO at Reckitt, where she oversees finance, IT and data, global business services, strategy, mergers and acquisitions, investor relations, treasury and tax.
- Before joining Reckitt in 2023, she spent eight years at Nike. Her roles there included CFO of Consumer, Marketplace and Brand, CFO of North America and CFO of Emerging Markets.
- Eisenhardt will receive the same compensation available to UPS’s non-management directors: an annual cash retainer of $125,000 and an annual equity award valued at $210,000. Both will be prorated for the remaining portion of the current board-service year.
- UPS Chairman William Johnson cited Eisenhardt’s financial expertise and experience leading global businesses through transformation. CEO Carol Tomé highlighted her background in finance, operations, technology and strategy.
What changes: Eisenhardt joins the board immediately and will serve on its Audit Committee, adding another director with experience overseeing finance and large international businesses. The appointment does not change UPS’s control or capital structure.
