Lex Fenwick Out as CEO of Dow Jones

News Corp CCO to replace him in the interim

Less than two years after joining Dow Jones as CEO and publisher of The Wall Street Journal, Lex Fenwick is leaving the company.

According to a statement from News Corp CEO Robert Thomson, the company is currently “reviewing the institutional strategy of Dow Jones.” Until a replacement for Fenwick is named, News Corp CCO William Lewis will act as Dow Jones’ interim CEO.

Before joining Dow Jones, Fenwick spent more than two decades at Bloomberg LP, where he started as a London-based sales employee in 1987 and was promoted to CEO in 2001 when Michael Bloomberg stepped down to focus on his mayoral campaign.
