Global Head of Platform, BlackRock
Julien Wallen brings 25 years of experience and a strong track record advising leading financial institutions — including banks, central banks, sovereign wealth funds and asset managers — through their most complex situations across balance sheets, risk and regulatory matters, financial policy, transactions and restructuring.
Experience Highlights
Global Head of Platform & Managing Director of the Financial & Strategic Investors Group, BlackRock, a business unit with more than $1 trillion in assets under management.
Oversaw multiyear balance sheet and risk transformation programs for European banks and global systemically important banks.
Executed buy-side and sell-side transactions on distressed loan portfolios across asset classes.
Set up several client investment platforms, including a $30 billion climate fund and a $10 billion infrastructure fund.
Performed Troika-mandated banking-diagnostics in Ireland and Greece on more than €500 billion loan exposures.
Directed non-performing loans management programs and supported bank recapitalizations.
GCC banks are entering a new risk era, where resilience is no longer defined by capital strength alone. With increasing regulatory scrutiny, macroeconomic shifts and geopolitical uncertainty, chief restructuring officers must rethink their mandate. The focus now is on agility, balance sheet velocity and enabling the business to act decisively in real time.
