S&P Global has appointed a new executive leadership team reporting to Martina Cheung who will become president and CEO on 1 November.
Saugatha Saha, who currently serves as president of S&P Global Commodity Insights, will lead the firm’s Market Intelligence division — replacing the current president Adam Kansler.
In addition, Saha will take on the role of chief enterprise data officer, leading enterprise-wide efforts to expand and connect S&P Global's vast data estate.
Saha joined the firm in 2014 as managing director of global strategy and business development for S&P Global Ratings.
Prior to that, he was a consultant at McKinsey & Co where he led client engagements.
Saha’s post will be taken by co-presidents Dave Ernsberger, currently head of market reporting and trading solutions, and Mark Eramo, head of fuels, chemical, and resource solutions.
Ernsberger has been with the firm for almost three decades, starting as managing director for Europe and Africa metals markets.
Eramo commenced his current role at S&P Global Commodity Insights in 2022, joining from IHS Markit, where he served as vice president.
Within the Commodity Insights division, S&P Global will combine all its energy transition and sustainability assets, including S&P Global Sustainable.
As previously reported, Eric Aboaf will assume the role of chief financial officer in February 2025.
Girish Ganesan, senior vice president of people, will take over the role of chief people officer from Dimitra Manis.
Both Kansler and Manis will stay with the company until March 2025 as special advisers.
Commenting on the announcement, Cheung says: "I want to take a moment to express my gratitude to Adam and Dimitra for their many contributions and the far-reaching impact they've had over their years with the company and on our people.
“We're grateful for their leadership and assistance in ensuring a smooth transition, and we wish them both all the best moving forward."
