McGraw Hill, Inc. announced that Philip Moyer will assume the roles of President and Chief Executive Officer and join the Board of Directors on February 9, 2026, succeeding Simon Allen who has led the company since October 2019. Allen will retire from the CEO position but remain as Chairman of the Board, working alongside Moyer and the executive team to guide long-term strategy. The incoming CEO appointment follows a rigorous succession process overseen by Platinum Equity, McGraw Hill’s majority owner, and underscores continuity in corporate governance by retaining Allen’s institutional knowledge at the board level.

Moyer joins McGraw Hill after serving as CEO of Vimeo, where he implemented an AI-first video platform strategy that drove double-digit year-over-year improvements in both revenue growth and adjusted EBITDA margins. Previously, he spent five years at Alphabet’s Google Cloud division as Global Vice President of Applied AI Engineering and Business Development, where he helped launch the company’s generative AI initiatives. His leadership roles at Amazon, Microsoft and fintech firms EDGAR Online and Cassiopae further solidify his expertise in scaling technology solutions and data analytics — capabilities McGraw Hill plans to leverage to accelerate digital learning product innovation.

Under Simon Allen’s tenure, McGraw Hill increased its digital revenue mix to nearly two-thirds of total sales and achieved a recurring revenue proportion approaching 60%. Board members project that Moyer’s AI and technology background will catalyze further expansion of personalized learning offerings, bolster market share in K-12 and higher education segments and drive margin enhancement through scalable digital platforms. Investors should monitor forthcoming updates to the 2026 financial guidance, including anticipated R&D investments in adaptive learning tools and potential partnerships in educational AI, which could materially impact revenue growth trajectory and profitability over the next three to five years.
