Our Culture

• Degree(s):Finance, International Business, Music
• Location:Princeton
• Job title:Analyst
• Group:Global Client Group - US Retail

I am an analyst in the Field Marketing & Strategy group within the Global Wealth Management Channel. We market to the internal and external wholesalers who, in turn, reach the end client – the financial advisors. We communicate with them on thematic campaigns, product launches, sales ideas, road shows, conferences and meetings. I learn a great deal in my interactions with numerous groups including product specialists, ebusiness, legal, wholesalers and the business analytics group.

Diverse Backgrounds, One Goal

The most challenging part is prioritizing between the numerous, yet equally important clients and responding to sudden changes in the market. The BlackRock culture is teamwork-oriented. People with diverse backgrounds come together for one goal -- to serve our clients. Unlike other established firms, BlackRock is an expanding company with unlimited opportunities and growth potential.

A Wealth of Opportunities

I joined BlackRock as I wanted to grow with a company that capitalizes on new opportunities.  I love that it is expanding and that there are so many new opportunities out there.
