Richard Parsons has been named CBS Corporation\u2019s interim chairman of the board of directors.<\/p>\n
Bruce Gordon and William Cohen, who have served on the board of directors since CBS became a standalone public company in 2006, have decided to step down from their posts to focus on other personal and professional priorities.<\/p>\n
\u201cDick Parsons has a combination of deep industry knowledge and unmatched corporate and board experience,\u201d said Candace Beinecke, chair of CBS\u2019s nominating and governance committee. \u201cWe are fortunate to have Dick in this leadership role.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have a distinguished and independent Board that is steadfast in its commitment to serve the best interests of all shareholders,\u201d said Parsons. \u201cI think I speak for all board members when I say I look forward to learning more about CBS\u2019s compelling opportunities and how we can help guide and support the company\u2019s growth.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
