Alternatives Operations Associate at BlackRock, supporting €18bn+ in committed capital and integrating Kreos Capital.

At BlackRock, I support private credit and alternative investment vehicles representing over €18bn in committed capital. I oversee funding, settlement, and lifecycle management for private loans and assets, maintaining 100% accuracy in BlackRock's Investment Book of Record.

I played a core role in integrating Kreos Capital into BlackRock's operating and control environment, including IBOR maintenance and lifecycle events that enabled adoption of a new Aladdin operating model. I also supported complex portfolio reallocations and infrastructure debt transitions with internal teams and external counterparties.

Before BlackRock, I co-founded Dublin Vintage Company, an online vintage clothing business that made over 1,000 sales and €30,000 in revenue within its first year. I also worked as a Grants Payment Analyst at Enterprise Ireland, verifying grant claim payments and compliance.
