The executive vice president and chief people officer for Cisco Systems Inc. has been appointed to the ADP board of directors.
On Wednesday, the Roseland-based payroll, human resources and tax services company announced Francine Katsoudas as a member of the board, effective that same day.
“As an innovative HR leader with a ‘voice of the customer’ mindset in organizational talent and strategy, Fran’s perspective and insights will be valuable to the Board as ADP continues to drive solutions in a rapidly evolving and dynamic HCM market. We believe this appointment reflects our ongoing commitment to stakeholders to bring new perspectives to the Board,” John Jones, a non-executive chairman of the board said. “The Board reaffirms its intention to return to a smaller 10-member Board.”
Katsoudas began at Cisco in 1996 and has served in various positions of increasing responsibility since that time. She was appointed to the people officer role in 2014.
