- Eveland will join the board of Thomson Reuters Special Services

Patrick Eveland has been promoted to president of the government business at Thomson Reuters and will also join the board of Thomson Reuters Special Services, or TRSS. He announced his appointment in a LinkedIn post.
Who Is Patrick Eveland?
Eveland, a sales and revenue executive with experience spanning the legal, corporate and federal markets, has spent more than two decades at Thomson Reuters. During that time, he has held leadership roles in the company’s law firm, corporate, FindLaw, digital and government businesses.
He most recently served as general manager of government legal markets for more than five years, after a stint as sales director for government markets.
As sales director for inside and digital sales, Eveland managed more than 150 inside sales executives and played a role in implementing digital sales and agile working methodologies that helped reshape the company’s go-to-market strategy.
Eveland started at Thomson Reuters in 2004 as a regional sales manager for corporate markets and remained in that position for more than 10 years. He previously spent a year as a recruiter at Aerotek.
What Is Eveland’s Role With TRSS?
In his new position, Eveland will be responsible for profit and loss and revenue growth across Thomson Reuters’ federal, state, local and academic business units. He also heads transformation work tied to customer experience.
According to his TRSS board biography, Eveland manages revenue strategy and execution for a $600 million book of business.
How Is TRSS Expanding Its Government Business?
Eveland takes the government business role as TRSS continues to expand its federal work. In September, the company won a potential five-year, $125 million data analytics blanket purchase agreement from Immigration and Customs Enforcement for screening, vetting, lead development and criminal analysis.
The move also follows the appointment of four-time Wash100 Award winner Dana Barnes as TRSS president in January, succeeding two-time Wash100 awardee Steve Rubley, who stepped down after nearly 15 years with Thomson Reuters.
In an August ExecutiveBiz interview, Barnes said his five-year growth strategy includes expanding the company’s presence in federal law enforcement, national security and financial crime while continuing to invest in data, technology and capabilities.
