He has made outstanding contributions to Moody’s, and the Board has complete confidence in his ability to lead the company to new heights.”
“On behalf of the entire Board, I want to thank Ray for his invaluable leadership over the course of his exceptional career,” Dr. McKinnell added. “With Ray as CEO, Moody’s has experienced the strongest growth in its history. Ray grew Moody’s core ratings and research business globally, expanded its international presence, built its data and analytics businesses, and introduced a number of new products and services. Ray has positioned Moody’s well for continued growth and success, and we look forward to continuing to work with him in his role as Chairman.”
Mr. McDaniel, 62, has served as Moody’s Chief Executive Officer since April 2005, first as Chairman and CEO and as President and CEO since April 2012.

“I am extremely grateful to have found a home at Moody’s over the past three decades and to have worked with so many talented and dedicated colleagues along the way,” said Mr. McDaniel. “It has been a privilege to lead Moody’s as it has grown to serve even more customers globally and bring clarity to an increasingly complex, interconnected world.”
Mr. Fauber said, “It is an honor to have the opportunity to lead Moody’s and to build on Ray’s accomplishments. I thank Ray for his mentorship and support and look forward to working with the Board and the entire Moody’s team to provide trusted insights and standards to help decision-makers act with confidence.”
