Oracle Corporation Names Hilary Maxson As Chief Financial Officer

She joins Oracle at a time of strong growth, driven by rising demand for cloud infrastructure. Increased needs for AI training and inference, multicloud databases and cloud applications are accelerating the company’s expansion.

Oracle recently reported its strongest quarterly performance in over 15 years, with more than 20% growth in both revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share. As momentum builds the company is focusing on efficient capital allocation, expanding capacity, driving innovation and generating sustainable, recurring revenue.

Before joining Oracle Corporation, Hilary Maxson served as Executive Vice President and Group Chief Financial Officer at Schneider Electric, a global leader in electrification, automation and digitalization with over $45 billion in annual revenue.

Since joining Schneider Electric in 2017 she played a key role in transforming the company from an electrical equipment provider into a digital energy technology partner, supporting sectors such as utilities and data centers through software, data, and AI. She helped drive performance, scale operations and advance the company’s strategic evolution.

She holds a bachelor’s degree and MBA from Cornell University and currently serves as a non-executive director and Chair of the Audit Committee at Anglo American plc.

With her appointment Doug Kehring will step down as Oracle’s Principal Financial Officer. His leadership helped guide the company through a period of significant growth and transformation positioning it for its next phase of expansion.

“We are pleased that we found a financial leader that matches our culture of strong financial and operational discipline and has experience scaling capital intensive global organizations,” said Clay Magouyrk, CEO, Oracle. “Hilary’s experience spans industrial, infrastructure, and software businesses sectors where capital intensity and execution excellence are critical to success. Alongside Mike Sicilia, CEO, we are looking forward to working together with our new CFO. I’d like to also thank Doug Kehring for running the finance organization the past six months as we prepared for this transition to Hilary. Doug will be returning his focus to helping optimize and accelerate our go-to-market operations.”

“Oracle has built extraordinary momentum at the intersection of cloud, AI, and industry applications. I’m excited to join at this pivotal moment, and I look forward to partnering with Clay, Mike and the broader leadership team to continue to invest with discipline and to translate this momentum into durable, long‑term value for customers and shareholders ” said Hilary Maxson, CFO, Oracle.
