S&P, Amidst Inquiries, Changes Senior Management

August 23, 2011

Deven Sharma, President of Standard & Poor’s, will step down and leave the company by year's end.  He will resign as President on 9/12/11, but will remain with the company through the end of the year to help oversee McGraw-Hill’s review of its businesses.  Douglas Peterson, currently the COO of Citibank, which is the banking unit of Citigroup, will take his place. 

S&P claims the move by Mr. Sharma, 55, has been in the works for months and was unrelated to any recent events, including those involving the Justice Department inquiry or activist investors.   

The management change had been in the works for months and was unrelated to either the Justice Department’s inquiry or to the emergence of the activist investors, Jana Partners and the Ontario Teachers Pension Plan, according to a person briefed on the matter.   [DealBook, 8/22/11]
