Mark Carney, the former governor of the Bank of England, has been appointed as the chairman of a newly established board of directors at Bloomberg, a prominent financial information and media entity based in the United States. This announcement coincides with a substantial reorganization of the company’s leadership, with Vlad Kliatchko, Bloomberg’s head of product, assuming the role of chief executive officer (CEO).
The news was communicated to Bloomberg staff via an email from the firm’s founder, 81-year-old Michael Bloomberg. Notably, Mark Carney’s engagement in climate-focused initiatives alongside Michael Bloomberg in the past had established a professional rapport between the two.
The elevation of Vlad Kliatchko to the position of CEO comes amid increasing speculation about the company’s succession strategy. This move is part of a larger shakeup within the management structure.
In response to these changes, additional appointments to the board are anticipated to be made expeditiously. Additionally, current board members are slated to be granted honorary positions as part of the reshuffle.
