S&P Global Strengthens Mobility Division with New Leadership Appointment
In a significant development for S&P Global, Bill Eager, the former Chief Executive Officer of CARFAX, is appointed as the new President of S&P Global Mobility, effective August 15, 2025. This leadership change comes as Edouard Tavernier transitions to a strategic advisor role after 12 years at the helm of the Mobility division. Eager, who has an impressive track record of driving revenue growth and expanding audience engagement at CARFAX, is expected to lead Mobility through its upcoming separation into a standalone public entity. The transition underscores S&P Global's commitment to nurturing innovation and growth within its automotive sector.
Martina L. Cheung, President and CEO of S&P Global, expresses confidence in Eager's capability to guide Mobility during this pivotal period. Eager brings over two decades of experience, including the successful launch of several key products such as CARFAX Advantage and CARFAX for Life. His appointment signals S&P Global’s strategic focus on enhancing its Mobility offerings, which include established brands like automotiveMastermind and Polk Automotive Solutions. Cheung acknowledges Tavernier’s invaluable contributions to the division, highlighting the strong foundation that has been laid for future success.
The timing of this leadership transition coincides with S&P Global's announcement of its second quarter earnings, which are set to be discussed in a conference call on July 31, 2025. As the company positions itself for future growth, Eager's leadership is anticipated to unlock further opportunities within the Mobility portfolio. The strategic appointment reflects S&P Global's ongoing efforts to adapt to market changes and strengthen its influence across various sectors, particularly in the rapidly evolving automotive landscape.
In addition to the leadership news, S&P Dow Jones Indices recently released the May 2025 results for the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Indices, indicating a slowdown in U.S. home price gains. The data shows a 2.3% annual increase, down from April's 2.7%. This trend highlights the continuing challenges facing the housing market, particularly in major urban areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco, which grapple with stagnant or declining prices.
S&P Global’s diverse offerings in intelligence and analytics empower various sectors, including capital markets and automotive industries, emphasizing their role as a trusted partner for organizations navigating complex economic landscapes. As the company undergoes important transitions, its focus on innovation and data-driven solutions remains central to its mission.
