AT&T elected Marissa Mayer to its board of directors, effective immediately. She will serve on the Audit committee as well as the Corporate Development and Finance committee. Her election brings the number of AT&T directors to 11.
Mayer currently holds the position of Chief Executive Officer at Sunshine Products, a technology start-up she helped establish in 2018. Before taking on this role, she served as Chief Executive Officer, President, and a board member of Yahoo!. Mayer's professional background includes 13 years at Google, where she made significant contributions as the company's first female engineer.
“Mayer’s extensive background in technology and her deep understanding of how consumers experience and engage with the internet will be a valuable addition to the board,” said Bill Kennard, chairman of AT&T’s board of directors. “We welcome her leadership and expertise as AT&T advances its investment-led strategy to become America’s best connectivity provider.”
