NYSE

:

DNB

) was honored yesterday by the Women's Forum Corporate Board Initiative as one of the Fortune 1000/S&P 500 companies with at least 20 percent of

board

seats held by women.

This recognition follows an earlier award received from the Executive Women of New Jersey, the 2015 EWNJ Corporate Board Diversity award, which recognizes publicly held companies in New Jersey that have achieved an impactful level of gender diversity by appointing three or more women to their board of directors.

Dun & Bradstreet women board members include Cindy Christy (joined August 2015), President and Chief Operating Officer, Asurion Corporation, Anastassia Lauterbach (joined August 2013), former Senior Vice President of Global Business Operations Europe at Qualcomm Incorporated, and Judy Reinsdorf (joined June 2013), Executive Vice President and General Counsel at Tyco International.

'Dun & Bradstreet is extremely fortunate to have Cindy, Anastassia, and Judy on its ten member board,' said Bob Carrigan, Chief Executive Officer and Director, Dun & Bradstreet. 'They are each playing a pivotal role in guiding the future of the company and we are delighted to receive this external recognition.'

A recent report from 2020 Women on Boards shows women hold just 18.8 percent of board seats of Fortune 1000 companies.
