Oracle has appointed former U.S. Secretary of Defense and former CIA Director Leon Panetta to its board of directors, the company announced last week.
"Secretary Panetta is a dynamic leader with a distinguished record of public service at the highest levels of government,” said Dr. Michael Boskin, independent chair of Oracle’s Nomination and Governance Committee. “He will add deep expertise and brings a fresh perspective to our Board."
Panetta served as White House chief of staff and director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton. From 1977 to 1993, he was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives representing California’s 16th district, which included Monterey, San Benito, and parts of San Luis Obispo and Santa Cruz.
