The Estée Lauder Companies has elected Jennifer Hyman (shown above, right), co-founder/CEO of Rent the Runway and Jennifer Tejada (shown above, left), CEO of PagerDuty, to its Board of Directors. Both have also joined the Audit Committee, effective as of April 16, 2018.
“We are very excited to welcome Ms. Hyman and Ms. Tejada to our Board of Directors,” said William P. Lauder, Executive Chairman. “Ms. Hyman brings her very impressive creativity and know-how in the worlds of entrepreneurship, disruptive retail, the millennial consumer and omnichannel. Ms. Tejada has tremendous experience in digital, mobile, software and consumer goods. These backgrounds and experiences will allow our new directors to provide valuable, practical perspectives to our Board as our company continues to grow by offering innovative products and experiences for our global consumers.”
William Lauder told Fortune that the hunt for the two new directors began last October — and sought one candidate with cyber experience and another with social-digital expertise. The additions will give Estée Lauder 17 directors, eight of whom are women.
