GM’s Board
At GM, CEO Mary Barra is the first woman to run a major automaker and a woman was just named as chief financial officer. Miscik’s arrival is actually the third time GM has reached board parity since 2016, but it’s been hard to maintain with various arrivals and departures. GM expanded the board to 12 with the addition of Miscik, 60, who is CEO of consulting company Kissinger Associates Inc. and a former deputy director for intelligence at the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.
Macy’s Inc., Ulta Beauty Inc., Viacom Inc., American Water Works Co. and Alliant Energy Corp. were already at least at parity at the end of last year, the Bloomberg data show. Navient Corp. was dropped from the S&P 500 in the last year and the departure of a director dropped Hologic Inc. off the parity list. Estee Lauder Cos. is counted as a having board parity until November, when a female director will retire.
