BlackRock Inc Chief Executive Officer Larry Fink has been preparing five key leaders to take his role whenever he decides to step down in the future, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday.
Though Fink has no imminent plans to retire, he along with President Robert Kapito has been training these candidates for "The Great Race" - to choose the successor - in what Fink calls is the "No. 1 priority", the report said, citing an interview with the CEO.
The five contenders are Mark Wiedman, who runs the global commercial business; Chief Operating Officer Rob Goldstein; and Chief Financial Officer Martin Small along with Rachel Lord, head of the Asia Pacific business, and Salim Ramji, the head of ETFs and indexing products, the report said. Fink told the newspaper he hoped to build camaraderie among the five, and not competition, so they will keep working together.
Fink did not give a definite timing as to when he would retire but said he "would prefer to not be at BlackRock in his late 70s", the report said, adding there was a chance he could stay on as chairman after stepping down as CEO.Last year, Activist hedge fund
