Foot Locker Inc. (FL), the New York-based specialty athletic retailer, elected Ulice Payne Jr. and Kimberly K. Underhill to the board of directors as directors of the company, effective December 1.
Payne is currently president and managing member of Addison-Clifton LLC, a leader in providing global trade compliance advisory services. A lawyer by trade, Payne was previously president and CEO of Foly & Lardner, a Milwaukee-based law firm, and has served as president and CEO of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club.
Underhill is global president of Kimberly-Clark Professional, a unit of Kimberly-Clark Corporation, a global manufacturer of branded personal care, consumer tissue and professional healthcare products. Underhill has spent the majority of her career at Kimberly-Clark serving in increasingly senior positions, with both domestic and international experience.
“As part of the board of directors’ ongoing succession planning process, we regularly look for exceptional talent that will complement our already strong board and help guide our company as we build on our solid position in the athletic industry, and Ulice and Kim fit that description perfectly,” said Richard A. Johnson, chairman of the board and CEO, Foot Locker Inc. “While they both have tremendously broad global leadership experience, Kim’s work in truly understanding individual customers and Ulice’s expertise in international trade and supply chain will make them especially valuable additions to our board.”
