Eric Aboaf

Eric, the Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer at State Street Corporation, is a key contributor to the Ally Sponsorship Program to foster diverse professional development. Under his guidance, DEI principles have been seamlessly integrated into State Street’s operations, such as utilizing various syndicates in debt issuance to empower underrepresented groups. (These efforts have seen remarkable outcomes, including underwriting a total of 38% of approx. $9.85 billion in debt offerings from Black and Latinx-owned firms since the program began in 2021.) Moreover, Eric’s dedication to advancing diversity is evident through his role in the independent Civil Rights audit at State Street. His commitment to DEI extends beyond corporate endeavors, as he actively supports organizations that promote equity and empowerment. As Chairman of the New York City Urban Debate League, he champions academic opportunities for students of color and underserved communities.
