Physicians Formula Taps Kanter

Physicians Formula Holdings, Inc. appointed Bruce Kanter to join the company’s Board of Directors effective July 1. He will be filling a vacancy created by the departure of Padraic Spence.

Kanter was the executive vice president and chief financial officer of Westwood One, Inc. (WWON), a public company operating as the leading radio program syndicator from December 1991 to February 1994. Before that, he was the senior vice president and CFO of Neutrogena Corporation. Since retiring in 1994, Kanter has been active on several boards.

“Bruce’s past experience at Neutrogena, a leading cosmetics and skin care company, will be a tremendous asset in helping us realize our growth plans for Physicians Formula,” said Ingrid Jackel, company chief executive officer. “Also, Bruce’s financial skills will make him a welcome addition to our company’s Audit Committee.”
