Twitter Inc. named Hugh Johnston and Martha Lane Fox to its board, adding a consumer products heavyweight and a British technology entrepreneur as it struggles to gain traction with a wider global audience.
It’s the latest in a series of major changes to the board, following the appointment last year of a former Google Inc. executive as chairman and the departure of the former chief executive officer. Johnston, chief financial officer at PepsiCo Inc., was named to the audit committee, Twitter said in a regulatory filing Friday. Fox is a member of the U.K. House of Lords and the co-founder of Lastminute.com, a travel and leisure website.
