Quad/Graphics, Inc. announced that Jay Rothman, chairman and CEO of Foley & Lardner LLP, has been appointed to Quad/Graphics’ board of directors. Concurrently, long-time directors William Abraham, a retired partner from Foley & Lardner LLP, and Thomas Ryder, retired chairman and CEO of Reader’s Digest Association, Inc., are retiring from Quad/Graphics’ board of directors.
“I am exceptionally pleased to welcome Jay to Quad/Graphics’ board of directors,” said Joel Quadracci, chairman, president and CEO of Quad/Graphics. “He has been a valued strategic advisor to Quad/Graphics for many years and I know he will bring a wealth of knowledge, experience and forethought to our board.”
Rothman’s practice areas include corporate governance, securities and corporate finance, mergers and acquisitions, and transactional and securities. He is a member of Foley & Lardner’s Management Committee, Transactional and Securities Practice, and Energy Industry Team.

Abraham and Ryder are retiring from Quad/Graphics’ board of directors after serving in their roles for 14 years and seven years, respectively.
“It has been a sincere honor to work closely with Bill and Tom all these years, and I thank them for the fundamental role they played in strategically positioning Quad/Graphics for ongoing success,” Quadracci said.
“Bill Abraham served as a strategic business and legal advisor to my father Harry V. Quadracci as he conceived and launched Quad/Graphics, and grew it into an industry powerhouse,” Quadracci said. “My family and I will forever be grateful for Bill’s support and contributions, and proudly consider him a founder of Quad/Graphics. Without his guidance, we would not be the strong company we are today.
“Tom Ryder is an astute, insightful businessman who has helped us improve our company and our industry, drawing on his extensive experience in the printing and publishing industries,” added Quadracci. “We are forever grateful for the guidance he provided during the World Color Press acquisition and integration, and additional consolidating acquisitions.”
With these changes, Quad/Graphics has reduced the size of its board from 10 directors to nine directors.
