CFOs On the Move: Week ending Aug. 21
Edmund Reese | Aon
Edmund Reese has stepped down as finance chief and EVP of Aon after two years in the role “to pursue opportunities outside the firm,” the company said in a Monday press release. Before joining the professional services firm as CFO in 2024, he was chief financial officer of Broadridge Financial Solutions. Aon named Nadin Virani as interim CFO, effective immediately. Virani has been global head of corporate planning and analysis at the company since January 2025. Virani was earlier head of corporate planning and analytics at Broadridge Financial Solutions and general manager for the Delta Amex co-brand portfolio at American Express, where he held several financial leadership roles for almost 18 years.
John Rogers | Baxter
John Rogers was named chief financial officer of healthcare and medical technology company Baxter effective Oct. 1. Rogers joins the company from medical technology firm Smith+Nephew, where he has been CFO since 2024. He started with the company in 2023 as CFO-designate. He earlier held leadership roles at U.K. retailer Sainsbury’s, including as chief executive officer of Sainsbury’s Argos and as CFO of Sainsbury’s. Rogers replaces Baxter’s interim CFO Anita Zielinski, who is leaving the company in September to become chief accounting officer of Cardinal Health. Zielinski took over the interim role in March, when former finance chief Joel Grade left the company.
Diego Reynoso | The Boston Beer Company
The Boston Beer Company’s finance chief Diego Reynoso will leave on Sept. 14 to become chief financial officer of Ingredion, an ingredient solutions provider. Reynoso joined the Samuel Adams brewer as chief financial officer and treasurer in September 2023. Earlier roles include CFO of the prepared foods division of Tyson Foods and CFO of Constellation Brands’ beer division. The company’s chief accounting officer, Matt Murphy, was named interim CFO while it looks for Reynoso’s permanent replacement. Murphy joined Boston Beer in 2006 as corporate controller and became chief accounting officer in 2015. He previously held the interim CFO role in 2023 before Reynoso’s hiring.
Niclas Neglén | Klarna
Klarna’s chief financial officer and chief marketing officer will leave the payments company in early 2027. Niclas Neglén, who has been CFO for six years, and David Sandström, who has been CMO for nine years, will stay in their roles through the transition. Klarna is currently searching for a New York-based finance chief to replace Neglén. Neglén joined the company in March 2021 from HSBC, where he held leadership roles in its private banking business HSBC Private Bank, including as chief financial officer of EMEA. He earlier worked at GE Capital as CFO of its U.K. business. Neglé’s departure plans come as Klarna reduces its financial outlook for 2026 due, in part, to weaker consumer spending in Germany, which is the company’s largest market by merchandise volume.
William Grogan | GE HealthCare
William Grogan will take over as finance chief of GE HealthCare on Sept. 14. Grogan joins the company from water solutions firm Xylem, where he has been CFO since 2023.

Interim CFO George Newcomb will continue in his role as controller and chief accounting officer.
