Oracle has named Hilary Maxson as its new Chief Financial Officer. She assumed the role on April 6. This appointment is part of the company's efforts to adjust its leadership team to support its ongoing growth.
Maxson joins Oracle from Schneider Electric, where she served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer. In her new position, she will be responsible for Oracle's global finance organization and will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Clay Magouyrk.
According to the company, she will succeed Doug Kehring, who previously held the CFO role and will now focus on market operations. This leadership change signifies that, as Oracle expands its enterprise cloud and artificial intelligence services, they will take on new responsibilities.
Oracle is currently making significant investments in cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities, which requires careful management of capital and expenditures. Bringing in a CFO with experience at large industrial and technology companies may help Oracle enhance its competitiveness while controlling costs.
