Aramark Announces Board for Uniform Services Spin-off
Aramark has named the board of directors for Aramark Uniform Services (AUS).
Aramark announced the formation of AUS last year. The new independently traded company will be a spin-off of the company’s uniform services division. The formation of AUS is expected to be finalized at the end of the company’s fiscal year and is intended to be tax-free to Aramark and its stockholders.
The following individuals have been named to the board of AUS:
- Phillip Holloman, Chairman of the Board: Holloman is the former president and chief operating officer (COO) of Cintas Corp.
- Doug Pertz, Vice Chairman of the Board: Pertz served as executive chairman of the board of The Brink’s Co. until his retirement in May 2023 and was the president and CEO of the company from June 2016 to May 2022.
- Kim Scott: Scott is the current president and CEO of AUS.
- Richard Burke: Burke is the former chairman of the board and CEO of Advanced Disposal Services, an integrated environmental services company.
- Tracy Jokinen: Jokinen has over 30 years of finance and accounting experience across various global industries, most recently as chief financial officer (CFO) of Vyaire Medical, a medical device company.
- Lynn McKee: McKee most recently served as Aramark’s executive vice president of human resources (HR) where she led the initial HR strategy related to the spin of the uniform business.
- Mary Anne Whitney: Whitney is executive vice president and CFO of Waste Connections and has more than 25 years of financial expertise.
- Ena Williams: Williams is COO of Casey’s General Stores, one of the leading convenience store chains in the U.S.
“I am impressed with the talent we have assembled which will allow the uniforms business to benefit immediately from their collective industry, financial, and operational experience,” said John Zillmer, Aramark CEO. “This is an important next step in our plan to create two independent companies. Both organizations are well positioned with an executive leadership team and Board that can focus exclusively on their respective businesses to deliver value-creating outcomes.”
