Updated multiple Fortune 500 Board of Directors names list
Regular readers of this blog will recognise many of the names below from several of my posts on Fortune 500 BOD sitters. For one example, see my recent post and muckety map (which emphasizes the media connections, but does contain some accidental deadwood). However, with the new Fortune 500 listing, an opportunity arose to check out some companies which either previously were not on that map or else had a sort of “honorable mention” placeholding due to the fact that they had been on prior year lists (examples of the latter would be Kraft and Fannie Mae). So, below the familiar names I’ve now added in some new ones based on my explorations. Franklin D. Raines’ muckety map is lacking, so in that particular case I linked to his NNDB profile instead. With the exception of Gregory P. Josefowicz, I think all of the new names can be placed on the old map via Fortune 500 companies already in place, but don’t quote me on that, since I haven’t attempted it yet.

AES Avaya Northrop Grumman Corporation Reynolds American TRW
Dana Embarq Goldman Sachs Group Inc. United States Steel Corporation
