Microsoft Corp. nominated Johnson & Johnson’s Sandra Peterson and former Cisco Systems Inc. executive Padmasree Warrior to its board, adding two prominent female directors as the company works to increase diversity in its ranks.
Maria Klawe, a computer scientist and president of Harvey Mudd College, won’t seek re-election when her term ends in December, Microsoft said Monday in a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Peterson, 56, is chairman of Johnson & Johnson’s worldwide group, and Warrior, 55, is Cisco’s former chief technology officer. Their addition would bring the board’s total to 11 from 10, including three women.
