FactSet names Sanoke Viswanathan CEO effective September 1; Phil Snow to retire

Neutral Impact 4 of 5 leadership Written later

FactSet's board appointed Sanoke Viswanathan, a 15-year JPMorgan Chase veteran who is currently CEO of its International Consumer and Wealth business, as chief executive effective September 1, 2025 or another mutually agreed date. He will also join the board on that date, succeeding F. Philip Snow, who is retiring as CEO and director. The filing sets out a compensation package for Viswanathan that includes a $22,000,000 performance option award and a $13,000,000 make-whole cash payment, which shareholders will weigh alongside the leadership transition.

Key points

  • Viswanathan, age 50, has been CEO of JPMorgan's International Consumer and Wealth since June 2024; Snow notified the company of his retirement on May 28, 2025.
  • Snow stays on as a special advisor to the board and Viswanathan through November 15, 2025, or a later mutually agreed date, and his departure is not tied to any disagreement with the company.
  • Viswanathan's pay includes a $1,000,000 base salary, a 200% target cash bonus, and a $22,000,000 performance-vesting stock option award for fiscal 2026 and 2027 granted in fall 2025.
