Thomson Reuters announced that Chief Financial Officer Mike Eastwood will retire and that former Dell executive Gary E. Bischoping Jr. will become the new CFO effective May 8, 2026. Bischoping, who has more than 30 years of global finance experience, will join the company on April 13, 2026 and assume the CFO role on May 8, 2026.
Eastwood will step down from the CFO position on May 8, 2026 and will become Chairman of the Thomson Reuters Foundation, where he will continue to advise CEO Steve Hasker and support the company’s philanthropic initiatives.
The appointment signals Thomson Reuters’ intent to strengthen its financial leadership as it continues to invest heavily in artificial intelligence and other growth initiatives. Bischoping’s background at Dell and Hellman & Friedman brings a blend of operational discipline and private‑equity‑style efficiency that the company believes will help it navigate the “AI era” while maintaining a robust balance sheet and shareholder return program.
Investors have responded positively to the transition, citing confidence in the company’s financial stewardship and its aggressive AI strategy. The move is seen as a continuation of Thomson Reuters’ focus on disciplined capital allocation and strategic investment in technology.
The CFO transition, coupled with the company’s AI‑driven growth plan, positions Thomson Reuters to sustain its competitive advantage in the information services market while delivering value to shareholders.
