Unisys Names Roxanne Taylor to Board of Directors

BLUE BELL, Pa., October 19, 2021 – Unisys Corporation (NYSE: UIS) today announced that Roxanne Taylor has been elected to the Unisys Board of Directors, effective October 18. Taylor, who serves as chief marketing and communications officer for Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) in New York, brings to Unisys deep experience in brand leadership, marketing, communications and diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI).

Taylor has more than three decades of experience helping the world’s biggest companies build their brands and tell their stories on a global stage. Prior to joining MSK, Taylor spent 23 years at Accenture — including more than 10 years as chief marketing and communications officer — where her vision and leadership helped shape the company’s business and brand strategy, and her accomplishments include the company’s growth into one of the world’s leading brands. Prior to her tenure at Accenture, Taylor served in corporate communications, investor relations and marketing roles for Reuters and Citicorp.

“I am passionate about technology and how it can be used to empower people to drive innovation,” said Taylor. “I look forward to applying my experience in digital innovation across branding, marketing and communications and DEI to help Unisys advance its culture and increase awareness of its brand.”

“Roxanne is a globally recognized leader in creating cultures of innovation and equality, building brands with purpose and promoting opportunities in technology for women and minorities, each of which are important priorities for Unisys,” said Unisys Chair and CEO Peter Altabef. “We are excited about her joining the Unisys board as we accelerate our progress with each of them.”

Taylor earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from the University of Maryland. She serves on the board of directors for Pure Storage and Thoughtworks.
