“Bobby has deep familiarity with our products and technology and has played an instrumental role in the growth of our products and our adoption of generative AI,” said Eastright. “As our products evolve, AI will be a critical driver of our success, and we’re fortunate to have a leader of Bobby’s caliber to lead those efforts.”

Puglia said he was excited to spearhead Bloomberg Industry Group’s product efforts and help to solve some of the clients’ most critical workflow challenges. “Our clients in law, tax, and government are looking to us to provide value, and leverage technology such as AI in a safe and responsible way.
