We worked on the FP&A team supporting the Multi-Asset Strategies & Solutions (MASS) investment team at BlackRock, partnering with the MASS Executive Committee among many other cross-functional teams. This was no small task, as it is one of the largest growth engines of the firm, and the financials are some of the most complex. Natalie has many desired qualities that make her a great addition to any company. Listing out a few below: 1. People Manager - Natalie is a great listener, empathetic, and has high EQ. She is people oriented, and can provide great constructive feedback. She explains the “why” and value of work you’re doing. She holds herself and her team to a high standard, but values and respects the people she manages as human beings. She also doesn’t shy away from providing her employees growth opportunities and exposure to advance their careers, as they develop. 2. Executive presence / presenting - Natalie was the primary business partner to the MASS ExCo, curating their financials for sales and expense forecasts among other reporting. She knew how to ahead of questions before meetings, and was quick to act or follow up on outstanding items from them. We consistently got good feedback from our business partners. 3. Cross functional collaboration - Natalie knew how to navigate the large organization to help better the team, push forward goals, integrate and share best practices, and helping ours and other teams along the way. 4. Authentic and genuine - past work we built a meaningful and lasting connection and are close friends. Would highly recommend Natalie as an addition to any organization."
