Zoetis Inc. (NYSE: ZTS), a former business unit of Pfizer
Inc., today announced the appointment of Louise M. Parent,
Executive Vice President and General Counsel of American Express
Company, to its Board of Directors. Ms. Parent will serve on
the Compensation Committee of the Board.
Ms. Parent has deep experience in corporate governance and board
matters, gained during her tenure with American Express, where she
works extensively with the Audit, Compensation, and Nomination and
Governance committees in her role as General Counsel. Ms. Parent
also has served on the operating committee and global management
team of American Express for the last 10 years and as a member of
the board of American Express Centurion Bank. She recently
announced her retirement from American Express after a 36-year
career with the global services company.
As a well-respected general counsel and leader at American
Express, Ms. Parent brings perspectives that will be crucial as
Zoetis becomes a fully independent company and further establishes
its reputation as the world leader in animal health. She will
provide the Zoetis Board with valuable global management and
corporate governance experience based on her years supporting such
efforts at American Express.
The Zoetis Board of Directors underwent additional changes
recently to reflect its full independence from Pfizer, and is
currently comprised of eight directors, including Ms. Parent.
