Acxiom® Corporation (Nasdaq: ACXM) today announced that its
Board of Directors voted on August 16 to expand its membership from
nine to 10 directors and appointed Richard Fox, an acclaimed
business consultant and financial expert, to the board. The company
also announced that on August 16 its Audit/Finance Committee
Chairman, Kevin Twomey, advised the board that he does not plan to
seek re-nomination after his current term ends in August 2013.
“Kevin informed the board earlier this year that he was going
through a process of considering steps to reduce his future time
and travel commitments,” said Jerry Gramaglia, non-executive
chairman of the Board of Directors. “We are grateful for his past
service and are very pleased that he will continue actively serving
on the board for the next twelve months as a member of the
Compensation Committee and as chair of the Audit/Finance
Committee.”
Fox was appointed to serve in the class of directors whose terms
end at the 2013 annual stockholders meeting and was named a member
of the board’s Compensation Committee and Audit/Finance Committee.
It is anticipated that he will assume the role of Audit/Finance
Committee chair when Mr. Twomey’s term ends.
“Rick brings a strong background in public company financial and
accounting matters that is complemented by his work with digital
marketing companies. We have added another outstanding person to
our board,” said Mr. Gramaglia. “His depth and breadth of
experience will be of significant benefit to help move Acxiom
forward.”
Fox began his career in 1969 with Ernst & Young,
specializing in high tech, software and manufacturing clients. He
was managing partner of the Seattle office when he left the firm in
1997, after which he served in management positions with PACCAR,
Wall Data and, most recently, CyberSafe Corporation, an
enterprise security software and software services business where
he served as president and chief operating officer.
Fox currently serves on the board of directors of Flow
International, a machine tool manufacturer (Nasdaq: FLOW); Univar
Inc., an international chemical distributor; and Pendrell
Corporation, an intellectual property investment and advisory firm
(Nasdaq: PCO). He is also a member of the board of directors of
Scottsdale Healthcare and the board of visitors of Fuqua School of
Business at Duke University. He was named Public Company Director
of the Year by the Seattle-Northwest Chapter of the National
Association of Corporate Directors in 2008.
Fox received an MBA from the Fuqua School of Business at Duke
University. He holds a BBA from Ohio University and is a certified
public accountant in Washington State.
In May, Acxiom announced the appointment of Tim Cadogan, CEO of
OpenX Technologies and former Yahoo! executive, and the nomination
of John Battelle, founder and executive chairman of Federated Media
Publishing, to the board as part of its expansion and innovation in
the digital space. At the company’s August 16 annual meeting of
shareholders, Battelle and current board members Ann Die Hasselmo
and William Henderson were elected to three-year terms.
