BlackRock appoints Asia Pacific successor
BlackRock has appointed Geraldine Buckingham as chair and head of Asia Pacific, succeeding Ryan Stork, who would become deputy global chief operating officer, effective February 2019.
Buckingham is BlackRock’s senior managing director, global head of corporate strategy, and a member of the firm’s global executive committee.
Prior to joining the firm in 2014, Buckingham was a partner with McKinsey & Company’s financial services practice, working primarily with large global asset managers.
Stork has held senior roles at BlackRock since 1999 and is currently BlackRock’s chairman for the Asia Pacific region. He is responsible for all business activities within the region.
Laurence D. Fink, BlackRock’s chairman and CEO, said Stork and Buckingham had been two key architects of strategy in the Asia-Pacific region, and expects Buckingham to drive growth in the region in her new role.
