About Robert Siegel

Robert Siegel is Chief Technology Officer of Global Infrastructure Partners at BlackRock. Location: New York, New York, United States.

Senior technology executive with 25+ years of experience driving digital transformation, enterprise platform integration, and operational efficiency across leading global private capital investment firms. As Chief Technology Officer & Managing Director at Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP) and now at BlackRock, I lead technology strategy and execution for a combined $180B AUM infrastructure investment platform spanning private equity, credit, real assets, and infrastructure solutions. I manage global teams delivering front-to-back technology platforms that support the full alternative investment lifecycle. I have deep expertise in cloud transformation, SaaS strategy, AI enablement, data governance, and workflow automation, with a focus on scalable, secure, and future-ready architectures. Previously, as Co-Head of Private Markets Technology at KKR, I led enterprise-wide platforms supporting global finance, fund operations, carry modeling, and investor reporting. I built and scaled systems to support KKR’s growth from $70B to $250B AUM across private equity, credit, infrastructure, and real estate. My early work at State Street, Credit Suisse, Sungard Investran, and Accenture gave me a strong foundation in private markets, fund administration and technology consulting. I bring a track record of success in aligning technology with business goals, leading cross-functional teams, managing vendor partnerships, and advising on M&A integration, particularly in the private markets and alternative asset management space. Passionate about applying innovation—including generative AI and private markets analytics—to improve decision-making, investor experience, and firm productivity.
