In a rapidly evolving financial landscape, this thesis dives into one of the most compelling challenges of our era: how a firm like BlackRock – managing over $10 trillion in assets – can harness the transformative power of Generative AI to redefine its operational and competitive model.

The project simulates a real strategic consulting engagement, tackling the problem as an advisory team working directly alongside BlackRock’s management. Through a structured approach (from competitive landscape analysis to the definition of concrete use cases), it explores how GenAI can reshape key company areas.

Working on a giant like BlackRock is far more than an academic exercise: it is a unique opportunity to engage with the real complexity of a global organization, where technology decisions intersect with financial regulation, investor trust, and the relentless pressure to innovate. In this context, GenAI is not merely a tool: it is a potential structural competitive advantage.

The outcome is an actionable, ambitious framework grounded in reality: a body of work that looks at the future of asset management through the eyes of those who are actively shaping it.
