S&P Global named Eric Aboaf as its next chief financial officer, pulling the executive from financial services provider State Street. The New York credit-ratings company said Aboaf, who will start in February, will oversee all aspects of the companys finance function. He will report to incoming Chief Executive Martina Cheung, who starts in November. Cheung said Aboafs track record of delivering growth, as well as his understanding of markets and the regulatory landscape will help deliver value for shareholders. Aboafs departure from State Street came on the same day as the Boston financial-services company reported its third-quarter results. State Street said Aboaf will work closely with the company until he steps down to ensure an orderly transition and that a search for a successor is underway. Christopher Craig will continue to serve as interim CFO at S&P until Aboaf joins.
