DENVER - Lumen Technologies (NYSE: LUMN), a $4.42 billion market cap digital networking solutions provider, has announced the addition of Michelle J. Goldberg and Steve McMillan to its Board of Directors, coinciding with its annual shareholder meeting held today.

The company, which generates annual revenue of $13 billion, sees the new appointees as crucial to its strategic growth and transformation efforts.

Michelle J. Goldberg brings a wealth of experience from her background in early-stage technology and finance, with over 20 years in the field.

Steve McMillan’s expertise lies in global enterprise technology strategy, data analytics, and big data. Currently, he is the President and CEO of Teradata Corporation and has held significant positions at F5, Oracle, and IBM. His experience in cloud management and services is seen as directly relevant to Lumen’s focus on multi-cloud and AI-first technologies.

The appointments come as Lumen bids farewell to retiring board members Peter C. Brown, Steven T. Clontz, and Laurie Siegel. Lumen’s president and CEO, Kate Johnson, expressed gratitude for the departing members’ leadership and their role in positioning the company for its future direction.

With the new additions, Lumen’s Board of Directors now comprises 11 members. The company emphasizes its commitment to connecting data and applications securely and efficiently, positioning itself as the trusted network for AI, and meeting customer needs in an evolving digital landscape.
