Fintech giant PayPal scored high on our rankings for age dispersion, board independence, and board expertise. John Donahoe, president and CEO of Nike, is PayPal's board chairman. The company counts current president and CEO Dan Schulman among its directors, as well as Ann Sarnof, CEO of WarnerMedia Studios & Networks Group; Enrique Lores, CEO of HP; Gail McGovern, CEO of the American Red Cross; and the former CEOs of Freddie Mac and AT&T.
