Hiteeksha Mathur G.

I'm a VP in the multi-asset strategies group at BlackRock, where I work as a Quantitative Researcher on systematic investing, portfolio risk, AI and optimization. Before this, I worked in risk advisory at Ernst & Young and in fixed income research at Western Asset Management, and as a Product manager for a financial advisor tool at BlackRock. I've seen asset management from the research side, the risk side, and the client side. I hold a Master of Financial Engineering (MFE) from UCLA Anderson, an MBA in Finance, Bachelors' in IT Engineering and the FRM charter. I also didn't start out as a quant. I moved through consulting and risk roles first, then found my way into quant research later than most people in this field do. That's part of why I coach: I know what it's like to build toward asset management without a clear map, and I can help you figure out yours - whether that means breaking in, positioning the experience you already have, or understanding what the day-to-day work is actually like.
