T.
Rowe Price Group, Inc. (NASDAQ: TROW) filed this Form 8-K on November 3, 2025 to report two leadership changes. Chief Operating Officer Kimberly Johnson, who has served in the role since 2022, will resign and leave the company on December 31, 2025. The company's press release describes her tenure as marked by modernizing the firm's technology and data infrastructure, its operational processes, and driving an enterprise approach to AI adoption.
In conjunction with her departure, T. Rowe Price is creating a new Technology, Data, and Operations function, to be led by Ramon Richards, who joined the firm as Chief Technology Officer in 2023. Richards will oversee enterprise operations, digital platforms, and data strategy, and will join the firm's Management Committee and report to Chair, CEO and President Rob Sharps.

Rowe Price managed $1.77 trilliona in client assets as of September 30, 2025, with about two-thirds of that being retirement-related. For investors, the filing centers on executive succession and a reorganization of technology and operations leadership rather than on financial results.
