He is responsible for delivering solutions across investment strategies, asset classes and fund structures to help clients. He is also a member BlackRock’s Global Executive Committee. Previously, he was Head of Europe, Middle East and Africa for the firm, leading all of BlackRock’s businesses in one of its fastest-growing regions.
