Honeywell International Inc. on Friday said it named retired U.S. Army General Raymond Odierno a director, expanding the board to 14 members.

The Morris Plains, N.J., conglomerate said Gen. Odierno, a former Army chief of staff, will stand for re-election at the company's annual meeting on April 27 and is expected to join the board's corporate governance and responsibility committee.

The board will return to 13 members at the meeting with the planned retirement of Jaime Chico Pardo, who has served as an independent lead director since 2016. Honeywell in December said current board member D. Scott Davis will succeed Mr. Pardo as independent lead director.
