Ms. Seseri has over 16 years of investing and transaction experience, including helping to build successful technology companies across a range of innovative fields.

Walsh, Jeffrey W. Yingling, and Randy H. Zwirn, who have been nominated to serve one-year terms.

“We are pleased to nominate Rudina as part of our ongoing commitment to maintain a highly qualified, independent board with the relevant expertise to guide Navigant going forward” said Julie Howard, chairman and CEO of Navigant. “Rudina’s expertise in helping companies evaluate and leverage innovative technologies to enhance the way they conduct business will provide valuable insights as we evolve to meet our clients’ needs. The expertise of both our experienced directors and more recent additions to the board has been invaluable, and we look forward to benefiting from the guidance of Rudina and all of our directors as we execute on our strategic initiatives for long-term growth and value creation.”

Navigant also announced that two of its longest-serving directors, Governor James R. Thompson and Samuel K. Skinner, will retire and not stand for re-election at the company’s upcoming annual shareholder meeting. Upon the retirement of Governor Thompson, the board expects to appoint Tipsord to serve as lead independent director. Tipsord is currently the chairman, president and CEO of the State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company and a member of Navigant’s compensation committee, having previously served as chair of Navigant’s audit committee.

“I would also like to thank Governor Thompson and Sam Skinner for their steadfast stewardship of Navigant during their respective board tenures” said Howard. “Their vision and guidance have helped Navigant continuously evolve, transform, and grow, and all of us at Navigant are deeply appreciative of their contributions through the years.”
