PRESS RELEASE

Innovation Leader Russell Weiner Appointed to Clorox Board

OAKLAND, Calif., Jan. 27, 2017 – The Clorox Company (NYSE: CLX) today announced the election of Russell J. Weiner, president of Domino’s USA, to its board of directors, effective Feb. 6. Weiner oversaw a transformation at Domino’s to a digital-led company through innovation in the consumer experience.

“Russell brings experience to our board that will help us maintain our leadership position in digital technology within the consumer packaged goods industry,” said Clorox independent lead director Pamela Thomas-Graham. “At Domino’s, he has revitalized the company through innovation in digital, strong consumer insights, brand building and operational excellence, driving steady sales growth. His deep knowledge in these areas will be invaluable to Clorox as we continue to transform our own company to meet the needs of today’s consumers.”

Weiner, 48, has been president of Domino’s USA since 2014. Before assuming this role, he served as executive vice president and chief marketing officer, starting in 2008. Previously, he spent approximately 15 years in the CPG industry, including a decade at Pepsi-Cola North America, where he rose to become vice president of marketing for the company’s cola business.

His work earned him numerous industry recognitions. In 2008, he was named one of Brandweek’s top 10 marketers, and in 2010 he was awarded Brandweek’s Marketer of the Year in the restaurant category.

He holds an MBA in international business and marketing from New York University’s Stern School of Business and a bachelor’s degree in government from Cornell University.
