John Stankey, who has been on the UPS board since 2014, will leave that position to focus on his job as CEO of AT&T, a role he has held since July.
UPS board chairman William Johnson said in a written statement that Kate Johnson and Russell Stokes “bring expertise that will enhance our board’s governance and stewardship of UPS."

UPS CEO Carol Tomé said in a written statement that 25% of the board of directors is “ethnically diverse" and 40% of board members are women.
“Our goal is to drive inclusive leadership and, ultimately, even better governance, decision making and performance,” Tomé said in a written statement. Tomé has been CEO since June.
The move comes after UPS in September announced two appointments to its board, CVS Health CFO Eve Boratto and former pharmaceutical packaging firm CEO Wayne Hewett. Tomé also called those appointments “a meaningful move in support of our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
