Caraher spent almost 30 years of his professional career working in different parts of the Thomson Reuters business, over 20 with the IP & Science business. "I've had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented people from around the world and witnessed the company grow into the market leader it is today," said Caraher. "I'm proud of what we've accomplished, and look forward to supporting and offering guidance to the business in my board capacity."
Nadler has 30 years of experience in the information services industry and is returning to the intellectual property and science sector. Nadler has held senior executive roles at a number of other data and information-related companies, including Interactive Data, Information Holdings and MLM Information Services.

From 2000 to 2005, Nadler was a senior executive at Information Holdings, an intellectual property and science information provider that Caraher and Thomson Reuters acquired in 2004.
"I'm excited to return to the IP and science industry, and honored to re-join the company now known as Clarivate Analytics. The company is well positioned to leverage its leading brands to meet the critical needs of its customers across the innovation lifecycle. I look forward to working with our customers, the talented employees at Clarivate Analytics and Vin," said Nadler.
