Vanguard CEO Steps Down
Bill McNabb will remain chairman of the board; CIO Tim Buckley will take over as chief executive.

Vanguards chief executive of nearly a decade will step down from the role early next year, the firm announced Thursday.
Bill McNabb, the passive investing giants third CEO since its founding in 1975, will retain his role as chairman of the board. CIO Tim Buckley has been tapped to serve as the new CEO starting January 1.
As the firm continues to grow, evolve, and expand globally, it is the right time for a new leader and the board is unanimous in its belief that Tim Buckley is the ideal next chief executive for Vanguard, McNabb said in a statement. I have worked alongside Tim for many years and he brings a strong passion for serving Vanguard clients and crew, a global mindset, and significant leadership experience in all facets of our operations.
