End-to-End Product Governance

Perlowski's GAAPS division manages the complete lifecycle of every investment product on BlackRock's platform — from initial product design and regulatory filing through ongoing servicing, board governance, and eventual product rationalization.

This holistic approach ensures that operational considerations are embedded from day one, enabling faster time-to-market for new products while maintaining the governance standards that clients and regulators demand.

His oversight extends to product lifecycle events — mergers, reorganizations, liquidations, and conversions — each requiring meticulous coordination across legal, compliance, tax, and operations teams globally.
