Thomson Reuters announced that former Dell Technologies executive Gary E. Bischoping Jr. will become chief financial officer, with the transition taking effect on May 8, 2026. Bischoping will officially join the company on April 13, 2026, and will participate in the first‑quarter earnings call on May 5, 2026. The appointment follows the retirement of outgoing CFO Mike Eastwood, who will become chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation board.
Bischoping brings a deep financial leadership background from his tenure at Dell, where he held senior finance roles, and he previously served as a partner at private‑equity firm Hellman & Friedman. His experience is expected to strengthen Thomson Reuters’ financial strategy as the company expands its AI‑focused infrastructure business, a key growth area that includes products such as CoCounsel and other agentic AI solutions for legal, tax, and compliance professionals.
CEO Steve Hasker said, "He (Bischoping) brings the right combination of financial rigor, strategic insight, and operational leadership to guide Thomson Reuters through its next chapter — including the opportunities ahead in the AI era." He also noted that Mike Eastwood has been a principled and trusted leader, "guiding the company through a period of meaningful transformation. He strengthened our financial foundation, sharpened our strategic focus, and helped position the company for long‑term growth."
The CFO change signals Thomson Reuters’ intent to reinforce its financial management team amid significant investment in AI and data‑intensive services. Bischoping’s appointment is expected to support the firm’s ongoing growth initiatives and to provide disciplined financial oversight as the company scales its AI platform and expands its market share in professional services.
Bischoping’s role will involve overseeing financial reporting, capital allocation, and risk management, ensuring that the company can sustain its momentum in AI development while maintaining strong financial health. His background in technology and private‑equity finance positions him to navigate the complex financial landscape of a rapidly evolving AI ecosystem.
