Oracle Corporation has appointed Hilary Maxson as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately on April 6, 2026. Maxson brings extensive financial leadership experience from her previous role as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer at Schneider Electric SE, where she oversaw global finance operations and contributed to strategic transformation initiatives. Her compensation package reflects Oracle's commitment to attracting top executive talent, featuring a substantial $26 million equity grant with both time-based and performance-based components tied to specific revenue metrics. The transition involves Douglas Kehring stepping down as Principal Financial Officer but remaining with the company to focus on strategic initiatives in his continued role as Executive Vice President, Operations. Oracle's press release accompanying this announcement highlights the company's strong recent performance, citing over 20% growth in both organic total revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share in its most recent quarter, positioning Maxson to lead finance operations during a period of rapid cloud infrastructure expansion driven by AI training, multicloud database, and cloud application demand.
