In this deep dive edition of Icons of Influence, we examine Larry Fink — co-founder, Chairman, and CEO of BlackRock — and how he wields influence through capital, data, ideas, and stewardship. We explore:


• His early career: failures, lessons, and founding BlackRock


• The evolution of BlackRock into a multi-asset, tech-driven powerhouse: Aladdin, licensing, acquisitions


• His push into private markets via major deals (GIP, HPS, Preqin) and how they extend BlackRock’s reach


• The annual “Fink letter,” where he challenges CEOs to balance profit and purpose, raising issues of climate, inequality, and long-term thinking


• Criticism and challenges: regulatory scrutiny, conflicts, leadership transition, activism vs fiduciary demands


• What his legacy might look like: embedding purpose, redefining finance, and influencing global norms




This episode offers insight into how modern influence is built — through capital, tools, narrative, and the courage to ask complex questions. Whether you follow finance, leadership, or culture, you’ll find something to rethink.
