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.
