I am the Global Head of the Blackstone Operating Team. I lead a group of operating executives and functional leaders that partner with our 250 portfolio companies and their CEOs to help drive value for our investors across a wide range of areas such as talent, data science and AI transformation, cybersecurity, procurement, energy efficiency, operational excellence, and others.Before joining Blackstone, I spent nearly three decades at McKinsey, most recently as the Global Leader of McKinsey Digital, which helps clients across a range of industries better harness the power of data and AI, modernize core technology, build new digital business, and fuel growth. I also led Firmwide AI Transformation at McKinsey, an effort to best deploy AI innovations across the company’s client service and operations. Previously, among other roles, I was the Managing Partner for McKinsey’s New York and Northeast offices in the United States.I earned my BA/MA in Natural Sciences, First Class Honors, and my PhD in Molecular Biology from the University of Cambridge. I am a coauthor of the books Go Long: Why Long-Term Thinking Is Your Best Short-Term Strategy and the Wall St Journal best-seller Rewired: The McKinsey Guide to Outcompeting in the Age of Digital and AI.
