DAYTON, Ohio - NCR Corporation (NYSE: NCR) today announced the expected board of directors for Teradata Corporation, the independent company that will be created through the strategic separation of NCR’s data warehousing business.

In addition to his role at NCR, Ringler serves on the boards of directors of The Dow Chemical Company, FMC Technologies, Autoliv and Corn Products International, and previously served as vice chairman of Illinois Tool Works Inc. and as chairman and chief executive officer of Premark International.

“The strategic guidance, expertise and continuity of leadership these individuals provide will serve Teradata well as it becomes a public company,” said Ringler.

“While Bill Stavropoulos, Vic Lund and I will be leaving the NCR board, C.K. Prahalad and Pete Boykin will continue to serve on NCR’s board in addition to joining the Teradata board.
