Hannah Rogers has been appointed Commercial Director at Thomson Reuters working across the Reuters Events and Insights Pharmaceutical Portfolio based in London after nearly four years at InternetRetailing and RetailX.
Hannah Rogers has taken up a new and significant role as Commercial Director at Thomson Reuters, one of the world’s most respected and most influential media and information companies.
Based in the London Area, Rogers will be working across the Reuters Events and Insights Pharmaceutical Portfolio — a specialist and strategically important division of one of the most recognized names in global journalism and business intelligence.
From InternetRetailing to Thomson Reuters
Rogers joins Thomson Reuters after nearly four years at InternetRetailing and RetailX, where she built a comprehensive commercial leadership career spanning three distinct roles.
She served as Business Development Manager from November 2022 to August 2024, before being promoted to Account Director from August 2024 to August 2025, and subsequently to Group Account Director from August 2025 to September 2026 — a tenure that demonstrated consistent commercial growth and client leadership across the London market.
Parallel to her InternetRetailing journey she also served as Group Account Director at RetailX from November 2022 to September 2026, deepening her expertise in retail strategy, digital commerce and media commercial operations across nearly four years.
A Career Built on Strategy and Commercial Leadership
Before her years at InternetRetailing and RetailX, Rogers built her commercial foundation at Strategy Insights, where she served as Strategic Development Manager for Marketing UK from January 2022 to October 2022 and as Strategy Development Executive from May 2021 to February 2022 — based at the prestigious Fleet Street address that carries its own resonance in British journalism and media history.
Her earlier career included a role as Recruitment Officer at Home Instead UK in Bedford from September 2020 to May 2021, where she developed her people and stakeholder management skills.
Education — First Class with Distinction
Rogers brings strong academic credentials to her new role. She holds a degree in Political Science, International Relations and Affairs from the University of York, graduating with a First Class degree with distinction — one of the most competitive classifications in the British university system.
She also completed a Study Abroad program at the University of Pennsylvania from July 2018 to May 2019, graduating with a perfect 4.0 GPA — adding an American Ivy League dimension to an already impressive academic profile.
Political science and international relations, as foundational disciplines, are a natural fit for a commercial career at a global information and news organization like Thomson Reuters, whose work sits at the intersection of journalism, business intelligence, and global affairs.
