ROMNEY APPOINTS REEBOK’S PAUL FOSTER TO MASSPORT BOARD

 

 

Governor Mitt Romney today announced the appointment of Paul D. Foster, a Vice President at Reebok International, to the Massachusetts Port Authority (Massport) Board of Directors.

 

Foster replaces Lucy Flynn for a seven-year term on the seven-member board.

 

“Paul Foster has a unique blend of public and private sector experience that will make him an asset to the Massport Board as they continue taking strides to make all the facilities they manage first-class,” Romney said. “I am thrilled Paul has agreed to take on this important assignment.”

 

Foster has significant public and private sector leadership experience. Currently, he is the Vice President of Trade, Communications and Governmental Relations at Reebok International, a position he has held for 12 years. He is also the Executive Director of the Reebok Human Rights Foundation.

 

Prior to joining Reebok, Foster spent eight years as the Vice President for Corporate Communications at Boston Whaler, Inc.

 

Before entering the private sector, Foster worked for the City of Boston for 14 years, including six years during two different stints as the Deputy Commissioner at the Boston Transportation Department.

 

“It is an honor and a privilege to serve Governor Romney in this capacity,” said Foster, who attended his first Board meeting today. “I look forward to working with Chief Executive Officer Craig Coy and the other members of the Board.”

 

Massport, an independent public authority, oversees Logan International Airport, Hanscom Field, Worcester Regional Airport, the Tobin Memorial Bridge and the Port of Boston, which collectively employ more than 30,000 people and generate more than $8 billion each year for the regional economy.

 

Foster’s appointment drew praise from Massport officials.

 

John Quelch, Chairman of Massport’s Board of Directors, said, “I want to welcome Paul Foster to the Board and thank him for agreeing to serve our region in this way. Paul’s experience will make him a strong partner in the board’s efforts to help Massport formulate strategies that will make our facilities world-class.”

 

Craig Coy, Massport’s Chief Executive Officer, added, “Paul Foster’s mix of private sector community work at Reebok and the many years he served the City of Boston make him a great addition to our seven-member Board of Directors. That Paul is eager to roll up his sleeves and jump into the work of this very active board is even better.”

 

Foster holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Prince Edward Island and a master’s degree from the Boston University School of Communications.

 

Foster, age 63, resides in Boston.
