"Hello, My Friend": Leadership, Identity, and Financial Power with BlackRock's Oscar Pulido
For Oscar Pulido, the story begins in Queens. Raised as a first-generation Colombian American, he grew up watching his parents navigate sacrifice, immigration, and opportunity—lessons that would quietly shape how he leads today. Long before becoming a Managing Director at BlackRock or the host of The Bid, Pulido learned the value of humility, bilingualism, and earning trust in rooms where you may not always feel like you belong. Those early experiences became professional superpowers. As his career advanced, Pulido discovered that leadership in modern finance isn't defined by authority or fear, but by communication, accessibility, and relationships. In an industry often perceived as closed or intimidating, he has made it his mission to demystify markets, expand access, and empower communities—especially Latinos—to move from participation on the margins to ownership in the future.
