Oracle (NYSE:ORCL) has named Hilary Maxson as its new Chief Financial Officer, effective April 6, 2026, placing a veteran of capital-intensive industries at the helm of its finance organization during the most significant infrastructure expansion in the company's history.
Maxson will report directly to Chief Executive Officer Clay Magouyrk.
Her appointment comes at a critical juncture for the Austin-based tech giant, which recently reported its strongest quarterly performance in over 15 years.
The company is currently seeing organic total revenue and non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) growth exceeding 20%, driven largely by a massive spike in demand for its Gen2 Cloud and AI training clusters.
Oracle highlighted Maxson’s extensive experience in managing large-scale infrastructure and complex global finance operations as a key factor in her selection.
As Oracle pivots to compete more aggressively with hyperscalers like Amazon Web Services and Microsoft Azure, the role of the CFO has shifted toward managing the multi-billion dollar capital expenditures required to build out global AI data centers.
