Pioneering the Weekly Asia-Pacific Investor Meeting, Marissa Guiang, Vice President at BlackRock, brings 200+ participants together on a regular basis to spotlight the diversity of investment professionals and their insights. As the driving force behind BlackRock’s Portfolio Management Group Pathfinders Program in Asia, she shapes training, mentorship, and career opportunities for junior talent, many of whom are from underrepresented groups. Marissa also co-leads the Communications Pillar within BlackRock’s Women’s Initiative Network (WIN) in Hong Kong, initiating impactful office-wide publications showcasing female professionals. Marissa’s early engineering of the Fundamental Equities “Investing in Investors Program” shows her global influence, which places career-switchers from diverse backgrounds into investment roles in the US and UK. Marissa extends her influence beyond BlackRock, mentoring with Built By Girls to empower young women in technology. Her guidance has propelled mentees to internships, jobs, and top graduate programs.
