About Jonathan Blank

I build marketing functions for alternative asset managers — from brand strategy and thought leadership to advisor engagement programs, digital marketing, and the systems that tie them together.Over the past decade, I\'ve had the opportunity to do this at two of the most recognized names in the industry:At Carlyle, I built the firm\'s first centralized marketing organization spanning Private Equity, Credit, and Real Assets — leading a global team of 20 and partnering with investment teams and senior leadership to establish a disciplined, always-on thought leadership platform for investors and private wealth financial advisors. At Citadel, I owned all digital marketing channels and content for a $65B+ alternative asset manager — managing a multi-million dollar a year budget, building investor engagement dashboards, and translating complex investment strategies into narratives that moved audiences.More recently, I\'ve spent time in a senior communications role at the U.S. Department of Homeland Security — an experience that\'s sharpened my ability to build scalable content operations and audience engagement frameworks under significant institutional constraints.I stay deeply engaged with the alternative investments space. I follow financial markets closely and remain active in the Private Equity Marketeer community.I also build. Earlier this year I reimagined KKR\'s \"Outlook for 2026\" thought leadership as a working interactive prototype — demonstrating what modern financial content architecture could look like.
