S&P Global to retire Chief Legal Officer Steven Kemps effective December 31, 2026

Neutral Impact 3 of 5 leadership Written later

S&P Global said Chief Legal Officer Steven Kemps will retire effective December 31, 2026, and the company has started a search for a successor. The same July 6, 2026 announcement reorganized Market Intelligence into two verticals and recast 2025 and first-quarter 2026 segment results to reflect the new divisions.

Key points

  • Steven Kemps, Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer, notified the company on July 1, 2026 of his retirement, effective December 31, 2026.
  • If a successor is appointed before that date, Kemps will become a Special Advisor to CEO Martina Cheung through the retirement date.
  • Market Intelligence will be organized into Kensho Data & Platforms, led by Sally Moore, and Enterprise Solutions, led by Darren Thomas.
  • The company recast previously reported quarterly segment information for 2025 and the first quarter of 2026 to reflect the revised divisions.
