Pilotlight and BlackRock started working together in 2017, following an endorsement from BlackRock’s Women’s Initiative Network (WIN). Since then, the partnership has enabled over 100 senior (mostly female) leaders to share their skills and develop themselves on Pilotlight 360. To date these senior leaders have offered strategic support to 100 charities from across the UK to become more efficient and effective. In 2024, we are delighted to welcome a new cohort of Pilotlighters who will be supporting over 17 more charities through the programme.
Helen Jewell, who is Co-Chair of WIN EMEA and Global Director of Research for Fundamental Equities at BlackRock deliberated on the partnership, stating: “Blackrock is delighted to continue its partnership with Pilotlight. The programme is highly rated and is a key way for our people to use their skills and knowledge to give back to communities all over the UK.”
BlackRock is a global investment manager, serving the UK market for more than 20 years. It’s committed to helping more and more people plan for their financial future.
Rose Evans, Director and Global Head of Manager Research Alternatives for the Multi-Asset Strategies and Solutions team at Blackrock, took part in Pilotlight 360 which supported The Salford Foundation: “I have felt a sense of achievement supporting a charity which resonated with me from a personal perspective. You see first-hand how hard-working and emotionally committed everyone within a charity is and it was a humbling experience to be a part of that. From a professional perspective, listening to the advice of other Pilotlighters who specialised in areas outside of my expertise was invaluable.”
