Nandakishore K joins blackstone as senior vice president

MUMBAI: Blackstone has strengthened its senior leadership bench with the appointment of Nandakishore K as senior vice president, signalling a sharper focus on operational risk oversight and governance across its global platform.

In his new role, Nandakishore will be responsible for reinforcing control frameworks and monitoring mechanisms, ensuring that risk management keeps pace with the scale and complexity of the world’s largest alternative asset manager. With nearly two decades in global financial services, he brings both institutional memory and modern risk thinking to the table.

Before joining Blackstone, Nandakishore served as senior vice president at Goldman Sachs, where he led global controls monitoring within operational risk. His career also includes senior leadership roles at Bank of America, Deutsche Bank and an earlier stint at Goldman Sachs, spanning securities operations, equity trading and clearing across Emea and global markets.

Based in India, his journey from frontline operations to global risk leadership reflects a career built on depth, discipline and delivery. At Blackstone, that experience is expected to play a key role in strengthening governance at scale, quietly but decisively keeping the wheels turning behind the scenes.
