"For 15 years, BlackRock's Kirsty Craig has operated as a kind of "translator" inside the world's largest asset manager, sitting between portfolio managers making big bets and engineers building the systems that help inform those decisions to get both sides aligned on driving returns. This skill set is part of what earned Craig, head of research, data, and AI strategy for portfolio management tech, the title of Tech Fellow, one of the firm's high technological distinctions, held by only two dozen of its thousands of engineers."
"When it comes to her impact on how $13.5 trillion money manager BlackRock uses AI, Craig said she's especially proud of her role in Asimov, the agentic AI platform for the firm's fundamental equity business. The "virtual investment analyst" was unveiled by Chief Operating Officer Rob Goldstein at the firm's investor day in June. It leverages AI to automate workflows and research, as many firms race to adopt the technology to speed up what were once monthslong investment processes."
Kirsty Craig was named a Tech Fellow at BlackRock, a high technical distinction held by only about two dozen engineers. She leads research, data, and AI strategy for portfolio management technology and has spent 15 years acting as a translator between portfolio managers and engineers to align investment decisions with technical systems. She helped build Asimov, an agentic AI "virtual investment analyst" that automates workflows and research to shorten previously monthslong investment processes. Craig is one of five new fellows, the only woman this year, and the only fellow working outside Aladdin, leading a team of around 60 engineers and data professionals.
