ISLANDIA: Computer Associates International Inc. (NYSE:CA) today announced the appointment of Robert B. Lamm as Corporate Secretary and Director of Corporate Governance, which is a new position at the Company.
Lamm will be responsible for the ongoing development and implementation of CA's corporate governance programs and policies, as well as maintaining the Company's relationships with institutional investors on corporate governance-related topics, the company announced in a press release.
"Bob Lamm is a man of extraordinary experience and integrity," said CA President and CEO Sanjay Kumar. "He is ideally qualified to help achieve CA's objective of establishing itself as the 'gold standard' for corporate governance."
Lamm, 55, most recently served as chair of the Securities and Corporate Governance Practice Group at Gunster, Yoakley & Stewart, P.A., in West Palm Beach, Florida. Before joining Gunster Yoakley, he was senior vice president, general counsel and secretary of Hvide Marine Incorporated (now Seabulk International, Inc.) in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. He previously was vice president and secretary of W. R. Grace & Co.
Lamm is a 25-year member and a former director of the American Society of Corporate Secretaries and serves on the Society's Securities Law and Finance Committees. He frequently speaks on securities law, corporate governance and related topics, appearing at programs sponsored by the American Society of Corporate Secretaries and other major organizations. He is also on the board of editors of The Corporate Counsellor.
"I'm very excited to be working with an executive team that is so committed to the principles and practice of model corporate governance," Lamm said. "I believe that the work we do here will not only benefit CA and its shareholders, but will also have a positive 'ripple' effect on the entire high technology sector -- as well as the corporate community as a whole."
Lamm received his BA from Brandeis University and his JD from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a member of the New York State Bar Association, The Florida Bar (including its Business Law Section and Corporations and Securities Committees) and the American Bar Association (including its Business Law Section and Committee on Federal Regulation of Securities).
