Effective today (Monday), Panetta is the 12th member on Oracle's board:

Secretary Panetta served in the Obama Administration from 2011 to 2013, and as Director of the Central Intelligence Agency from 2009 to 2011. Previously, Panetta worked as White House Chief of Staff and Director of the Office of Management and Budget under President Bill Clinton.

Panetta also currently directs the Panetta Institute for Public Policy, based at California State University, with his wife. In addition, the former US official has served as a Presidential Professor at Santa Clara University.

Larry Ellison commented:

"Secretary Panetta is a dynamic leader with a distinguished record of public service at the highest levels of government. He will add deep expertise and brings a fresh perspective to our Board."
