CINCINNATI–Paul C. Varga, chairman and CEO of wine and spirit producer Brown-Forman Corporation, has been elected to the Macy’s, Inc. board of directors.
Terry J. Lundgren, Macy’s, Inc. chairman, president and CEO called Varga a “dynamic business leader and strategic thinker with an impressive track record in building and marketing global brands.”
The addition of Varga brings the size of the Macy’s board to 11 members. It will return to 10 members after the annual shareholder meeting in May when Joseph A. Pichler, former chairman of The Kroger Company, retires from the board after more than 14 years of service.
