A seasoned senior executive with over 30 years of experience, Anne is committed to empowering and advancing other women in financial services – and beyond. Throughout her career, she has devoted significant time to mentoring and sponsoring women – frequently speaking on career-building panels and advocating for gender equality in the workplace. Anne’s proudest achievement was co-founding BlackRock’s first employee affinity group, the Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) in 2009. Since its launch, she has helped grow the network to over 4,000 members across 63 offices, impacting the careers of thousands of BlackRock women. Most recently, Anne has served as head of WIN for the Americas and as Chair of the Global WIN Executive Committee, working to accelerate the network’s mission at scale. Anne also contributed significantly to the creation of the Women’s Leadership Forum (WLF), a state-of-the-art and successful development program for high-performing women. She was also instrumental in the creation of Leadership, Excellence and Development (LEAD), a development program for under-represented populations at BlackRock, including women of color. Outside the firm, Anne has been honored by the YWCA Academy of Women Leaders, as well as the National Council for Research on Women (NCRW), and was awarded the Women’s Bond Club 2018 Merit Award. Currently, she is developing content in partnership with Girlboss, an online and events-driven female community, to empower millennial women to take control of their financial futures.
