Tuesday, March 9, 2010 Novick Plants BlackRock's Flag in the Beltway After relinquishing her post as head of BlackRock's account management group last year, co-founder and vice chairman Barbara Novick has been busy with BlackRock's government relations and public policy efforts, spending about a week each month in D.C. “Because BlackRock was often being mentioned by congressmen in hearings, it was becoming obvious that we were getting big enough to require a Washington presence," Novick told Pensions & Investments in an interview published Monday. Novick added that the money management industry lacks a strong lobby group that "truly speaks up for investors." Last February, Novick handed the reins of BlackRock's account management group to Rob Fairbairn. Printed from: MFWire.com/story.asp?s=31580 Copyright 2010, InvestmentWires, Inc. All Rights Reserved |
