ALLENTOWN, Pa. (July 2, 2014) -- PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) announced Wednesday (7/2) that an executive with more than three decades of wide-ranging technology and management experience will join the company's board of directors.

“We are very pleased to welcome Armando to the PPL board,” said William H. Spence, PPL chairman, president and Chief Executive Officer. “His very strong technical background and his line management and staff experience at Xerox make him an exceptionally strong addition to our already excellent board.”

Prior to this role, Zagalo de Lima led Xerox Europe from 2001 to 2010, serving as chief operating officer and then president, driving business activity in nearly 20 countries.
He first joined Xerox in Portugal in 1983 and held sales, marketing and management positions across Europe.
A native of Portugal, Zagalo de Lima earned a master’s degree in information technology and electronics engineering from Instituto Superior Tecnico Lisboa.
He will serve on the Finance Committee of the PPL board. Zagalo de Lima’s appointment will bring PPL’s total board membership to 13, 12 of whom are outside, independent directors.
