July 29 (Reuters) - Investment management firm T. Rowe Price said on Thursday Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Bill Stromberg would retire on Dec. 31, after 35 years at the company.

Stromberg will be succeeded by President Rob Sharps as CEO and continue to serve as the non-executive chairman, the company said.
