PALO ALTO – Myron “Mike” Ullman, chief executive officer of LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton Inc., has been elected to a three-year term on the board of directors of the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children’s Health.

Ullman, 54, previously served as Group Managing Director for LVMH, an international group of companies involved primarily in the production and sale of luxury goods, including champagne, wine, leather goods, watches and jewelry.

Before becoming Group Managing Director in 1999, Ullman was president of the LVMH Selective Retail Group and chairman and CEO of the Duty Free Shops (DFS) Group Limited. From 1992-95, he was chairman and CEO of R.H. Macy and Co., which he guided through reorganization and a merger with Federated Department Stores.

He earned his B.S. in Industrial Management at the University of Cincinnati, where he subsequently served as vice president for business affairs. He also did postgraduate work in management at Harvard University, and was a White House Fellow under President Reagan.

Ullman and his wife, Cathy, live in Colorado. They are the parents of six children.
