Lily Xiong

Sitting in the Talent and Culture Taskforce at BlackRock, Lily has been leading efforts to achieve gender equity for the Asia Pacific region via three key pillars: hiring, developing and retaining talent; developing a culture of female sponsorship at all levels, from early career to executive; and upskilling managers to equip them with essential tools. As an Executive Sponsor for BlackRock’s Analyst Ally and WIN China, Lily sponsors several women’s development and career growth programs. This includes ‘Taking the Stage’, an activity which helps Female Directors and VPs build confidence around public speaking and developing a leadership voice. In 2019, Lily created a program called the WIN Power Hour, which features the most talented and accomplished leaders from across the industry with the aim of forming a roundtable for them to share their industry knowledge and career advice, and how they drive gender equity.
