Rachel Lord

Rachel Lord has hopped around the globe on BlackRock’s behalf. The Morgan Stanley and Citigroup alum joined the world’s largest money manager in 2013 and led its Europe, Middle East, and Africa business before moving to Hong Kong to oversee its Asia- Pacific operations. In that latter role, she appointed leaders who had grown up in local markets to top roles and launched climate-action ETFs in Japan and Singapore. Her new job as head of international, which Lord started in January, sent her back to her native U.K. and taps into her years of global experience. She leads all of BlackRock’s 10,000 international employees who manage $3.3 trillion in assets across 75 countries. In the 2023 fiscal year, BlackRock’s international business earned revenue of $5.96 billion and net profit of $2.15 billion.
