Thomson Reuters Corp., the financial news and information provider, named James Smith to replace Chief Executive Officer Tom Glocer, who will retire after leading the company since its creation in a 2008 merger.
Smith, 52, will become CEO on Jan. 1, the New York-based company said yesterday in a statement. He was elevated to chief operating officer in a September restructuring after running the professional division that includes the Westlaw legal database and Checkpoint tax-information service.
