S&P Global has introduced a new operating model for its Market Intelligence division to accelerate agentic AI solutions, strengthen platform capabilities, and better align with evolving customer needs. The restructuring establishes two specialized business verticals while introducing executive leadership changes designed to enhance AI-powered workflows, data delivery, and enterprise software solutions. The move reflects the company's strategy to deliver more integrated, AI-native experiences across its financial intelligence portfolio.
Under the new structure, S&P Global Market Intelligence will operate through two complementary verticals: Kensho Data & Platforms and Enterprise Solutions. The company said the model aligns its extensive data assets, AI capabilities, software platforms, and customer workflows to help organizations move from insight to action more efficiently.
Kensho Data & Platforms will combine data delivery, AI-powered products, platform capabilities, and client engagement to create an AI-led customer experience. Enterprise Solutions will focus on software assets, pricing, reference data, financial infrastructure, and agentic workflows that support capital markets and enterprise customers.
Sally Moore will expand her responsibilities as Chief Client Officer to serve as Co-Head of Market Intelligence, Kensho Data & Platforms. Darren Thomas will continue leading Enterprise Solutions while assuming the additional role of Co-Head of Market Intelligence and joining the S&P Global Executive Leadership Team.
Additional leadership appointments include Bhavesh Dayalji as Head of Kensho Data & Intelligence and Whit McGraw as Head of Platforms, where he will oversee AI-native client interfaces including Capital IQ, Ratings Direct, Visible Alpha, and With Intelligence.
As part of the restructuring, the Maritime & Trade business will move to S&P Global Energy, allowing customers to access more comprehensive supply chain and energy intelligence. Meanwhile, Credit Analytics risk capabilities will transition to S&P Global Ratings to strengthen credit risk coverage for small and midsized companies.
"As AI transforms how intelligence is consumed and acted upon, S&P Global is evolving. In a world where data is abundant, but not all created equal, customers need trusted, connected, essential intelligence that brings context and conviction to decision-making. These changes within Market Intelligence align our capabilities, enabling us to elevate the customer experience while growing our revenue and improving margins."
The company also announced that Chief Legal Officer Steve Kemps plans to retire at the end of 2026 following a transition period, with a search underway for his successor.
The new operating model positions S&P Global to accelerate AI innovation while simplifying customer access to trusted data, intelligent workflows, and enterprise software solutions. The restructuring also reinforces the company's long-term strategy of embedding agentic AI capabilities across its financial intelligence platforms.
