Eastright began his nearly 25-year career at Bloomberg as a college intern studying political science at Amherst College and then worked for Bloomberg LP, focusing on energy and commodities markets. He later moved to Bloomberg New Energy Finance before shifting to Bloomberg Government. In 2018, Eastright was named CEO of Bloomberg Industry Group, a Bloomberg affiliate company that traces its roots back to 1929 and provides proprietary legal, tax, regulatory, and business data and news to professionals across multiple industries through its Bloomberg Law, Bloomberg Tax & Accounting and Bloomberg Government services.

The Industry Group employs around 1,000 people in Washington, D.C., and Arlington — and it’s growing. In April, Eastright told the trade publication Technical.ly that he was looking to fill 200 positions in technology and engineering. “We’re aggressively hiring really across the patch,” Eastright said. “But engineering is a place where everybody is actively trying to hire right now.”

Away from work, Eastright is a member of the Smithsonian Institution’s Arts + Industries Building Working Group and has supported the campaign to build the 11th Street Bridge Park in Washington, D.C.
