NEW YORK–Moody’s Corporation has appointed Lisa P. Sawicki to its Board of Directors, effective March 16, 2026. Ms. Sawicki brings more than 35 years of experience in audit and business advisory services within the financial services sector. During her tenure as Chair of the Global Board at PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, she oversaw the development and implementation of robust governance frameworks across a network of 157 member firms, managing annual revenues in excess of $50 billion. Her election increases Moody’s Board to 11 directors, seven of whom are independent, and underscores the company’s commitment to deepening oversight in risk management and regulatory compliance.

Investors should view Ms. Sawicki’s addition as a strategic enhancement of Moody’s governance capabilities. Her expertise in large‐scale financial audits and global advisory services is expected to bolster the Board’s Audit and Risk Committees, where she will serve. With regulatory scrutiny intensifying around credit rating agencies and financial data providers, her leadership credentials at one of the world’s largest professional services firms position Moody’s to navigate evolving accounting standards and international regulatory requirements. Market participants may interpret this appointment as a signal of Moody’s focus on reinforcing internal controls and risk oversight, which could support the company’s long‐term credit rating stability and investor confidence.
