NEW YORK, Dec. 7, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global
(NYSE: SPGI) today announced that Ewout
Steenbergen, Executive Vice President and Chief
Financial Officer (CFO), has decided to leave the Company to pursue
another professional opportunity, which will be shared next week.
Steenbergen, who assumed the role of CFO in November 2016, will remain until March 2024 to ensure continuity and a successful
transition.
"For the past seven years, Ewout has made invaluable
contributions to the financial management, strategic direction and
overall growth of S&P Global," said Douglas L. Peterson, President and Chief
Executive Officer. "Ewout has helped to position us well for
sustainable growth, and I wish him success in his next professional
endeavor."
"I am incredibly proud of the accomplishments we recorded during
my time at S&P Global and serving as CFO has been one of the
most significant highlights of my career," said Steenbergen. "I
have full confidence in the future of the company."
Steenbergen played an instrumental role in acquiring Kensho,
S&P Global's artificial intelligence and innovation hub. He was
a core member of the S&P Global leadership team that completed
the company's historic merger with IHS Markit in 2022, and served
as President of the Engineering Solutions division prior to the
company's divestiture in May
2023.
Steenbergen also drove the introduction of new performance
metrics, including the climate-adjusted earnings per share and
S&P Global's vitality index, a measure of the percentage of
revenues derived from new or enhanced products. Under his
leadership, S&P Global's investor relations program has
consistently received recognition from investors and analysts
alike.
S&P Global has begun the process of evaluating both internal
and external CFO candidates.
