ATLANTA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PulteGroup, Inc. (NYSE: PHM), one of America’s largest homebuilding companies, today announced the appointment of J. Phillip Holloman, former President and Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Cintas Corporation, as a new independent director to its board, effective immediately.

“Phillip is a seasoned executive who successfully led one of the world’s most recognized brands for a decade,” said Bryce Blair, Chairman of the Board of PulteGroup. “We are confident his experiences and insights will prove valuable to PulteGroup and are thrilled to welcome him to the board.”

“The PulteGroup Board of Directors is comprised of members who bring authenticity, energy, passion and a history of diverse experiences to ensure the continued success of the company, which is why Phillip is a natural choice to join the board,” said Cheryl Grise, PulteGroup director and Chairman of the Nominating and Governance Committee. “His history of success in the corporate setting, combined with his wealth of community service and dedication to diversity and inclusion initiatives made him an ideal candidate and I look forward to working with Phillip for years to come.”

Holloman retired from Cintas as President and COO in 2018 after 22-years spanning multiple roles and responsibilities.
