NEW
YORK, June 28, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P
Global (NYSE: SPGI) today announced that John Berisford will assume a transitional role
as executive advisor ahead of his departure from the Company in
December 2022. In addition, he will
continue to serve as Chairman of the Board of CRISIL. Berisford,
previously President of S&P Global Ratings, has led S&P
Global's Integration Management Office since the close of the
Company's merger with IHS Markit in February
2022.
"John has been a transformative leader through a period of
impressive growth and innovation for the Ratings business, and an
invaluable colleague through the evolution of S&P Global for
more than a decade," said Douglas L.
Peterson, President and Chief Executive Officer.
"John's contributions paved the way for so much of the strategic
foresight, innovation and pivotal investment at the foundation of
the thriving company we know today. His leadership of the merger's
Integration Management Office served as the fitting capstone of an
extraordinary chapter with the Company, and we are fortunate to
benefit from his insights and advice during his transition."
Berisford joined the McGraw Hill Companies in 2011 and served as
Executive Vice President of Human Resources. He quickly established
a reputation as an exceptional strategist and business leader. He
served as one of the driving forces behind the Company's
transformation from a well-established publishing and media
conglomerate with a disparate group of assets into a leading global
information services provider with a clear vision and focus on
providing best-in-class data and analytics.
"It has been my great privilege to contribute to the growth and
performance of this Company over the last eleven years," said
John Berisford. "Leading the
Ratings division was an unforgettable career highlight, and I am
proud of the legacy we built as a team. I look forward to working
closely with the S&P Global leadership team during this
transition."
Prior to joining S&P Global, John had a successful 22-year
career with PepsiCo. Starting as a campus hire, he rose to become
the Chief Human Resources Officer at the Pepsi Bottling Group after
its initial public offering. He also helped lead the successful
integration of the bottling business into PepsiCo in 2009 before
leaving to join the McGraw Hill Companies.
