Mr. Rodriguez has been the chief executive officer and a member of the board of directors of ADP since November 2011. A recognized leader in the HCM industry, he has overseen an extraordinary period of growth for the company and led ADP through significant shifts in the world of work, including the impacts of digital transformation.

Mr. Rodriguez continued, "I am delighted that Maria will be the next CEO of ADP. She has learned our business truly from the ground up, which gives her a powerful perspective and understanding of ADP's products, innovation strategy and growth opportunities. I am confident that Maria will continue to lead ADP successfully into the future."

"I am grateful for the confidence of the board and I am extremely enthusiastic about the opportunity to lead ADP as it continues to deliver insightful technology and solutions that meet the changing needs of our clients, as well as sustainable profitable growth and consistent value creation for our shareholders. I am committed to fostering meaningful collaboration and empowering the great talent of our 60,000 associates, whose relentless focus on the success of our clients has reshaped HCM time and again by rethinking a better, more personalized world at work," said Ms. Black.

"Maria's appointment to CEO demonstrates ADP's commitment to leadership development and the company's strong succession planning process," said John P. Jones, chairman of the board for ADP. "Maria has been at ADP for over two decades, is a proven leader and has held various executive leadership roles at the company. The board is thrilled and confident she will continue to build on ADP's strong foundation and success going forward."

Ms. Black has been the president of ADP since January 2022 and in this role, has overseen sales, marketing, and all business operations.
