BlackRock’s Post

Congratulations to all three. But it’s worth asking — who defines influence in finance today? Too often, it’s measured by position, not principle — by proximity to capital, not contribution to fairness. Real influence isn’t just about shaping markets. It’s about shaping systems that work for those who’ve been locked out of them. #Finance #Leadership #Fairness #EndOfRecord

Leadership that transforms the future of finance is born from clarity, purpose, and collective intelligence. Congratulations to these exceptional women shaping the rhythm of intelligent growth.

Congratulations to Rachel, Sarah, and Jane — remarkable recognition and well deserved. Empowerment at scale happens when leadership becomes a system, not just a position. Great to see BlackRock continuing to redefine what inclusive influence looks like in finance.

Healthy Restructuring for the Economy, Individuals, and Organizations (AI-Related Layoffs)   The very word "restructuring" always carries a burdensome connotation. While the intent is understandable, the two sides' positions clash when it comes to implementation.   There are ways to embrace restructuring gently and wisely. A sudden, aggressive approach of forcing employees into voluntary retirement is undesirable.   Restructuring also requires regular training.   We must instill in all members that they can and should be prepared to leave at any time.   Expressing "You're betraying me after I raised you! You shouldn't do this to me!" is meaningless. We must allow them to create their own paths of survival, whether through independence or a move to a competitor.   The atmosphere and conditions for a sacred leap forward were lacking. We must now abandon the existing framework that has shaped the world solely around competition.   A system in which people who leave and the organization coexist must be established. This is a truth I've personally learned from implementing this trend in various fields over a long period of time. We must accept that restructuring is not a dark and gloomy prospect, but a refreshing opportunity!

Drawing a New Outline for the Global Economy   The economy is a living amoeba. If artificial pressure is applied, it will distort and transform into something more.   The future of the global economy is not bleak.   While the balance of power appears to be shifting to one side, it will soon find its place. It is true that we are facing turmoil, with interest rates, exchange rates, tariffs, the gold rally, and trade disputes over cryptocurrencies.   This turmoil will soon end. The AI issue must be properly addressed. AI development is justified. Clear limitations must be established in advance.   We must now draw a larger picture of the global economy.   We need a blueprint that prioritizes humanism over development focused on profit. We must focus on industries related to humanism.   Immersion is needed in industries such as population policy to support the Earth's optimal population, resource development, food, clothing, and shelter, the distribution industry for just distribution, and the education industry for a balanced globalization.   Rather than focusing solely on technological development, a quantum mechanics-based approach to human coexistence must take hold.

Congratulations on this additional global recognition I would be very helpful if BlackRock can use its influence to put together a global coalition, to push a private sector centric approach to driving global development, as outlined here http://bit.ly/45Wv5xg Most of the development that has taken place in the world was brought about by the private sector, and not by the United Nations or international development agencies. And the future development that we would like to see take place in the future, would be brought about largely by the private sector Stephen A. Schwarzman

BlackRock thanks for sharing, and congratulations to Rachel Lord, Sarah Melvin and Jane Sloan on this well-deserved recognition! Being named among the 100 Most Influential Women in European Finance is a testament not only to their leadership and impact but also to their ability to inspire others across the industry. Celebrating such achievements helps pave the way for greater inclusion, mentorship and representation in finance. How can the industry further build on this momentum to create more structured pathways for women to advance into leadership roles and shape the future of global finance?

Congratulations to these inspiring leaders. I hope BlackRock will also turn its attention to HSBC’s ESG and social responsibility violations toward its own people — the HSBC Lebanon retirees who served the bank for decades and are now facing hardship and abandonment. HSBC keeps the governing SPA hidden, citing confidentiality, while BLOM Bank, the buyer, has already uncovered it. True leadership means accountability
