Prior to Blackstone, he served as a director and global head of vendor risk management at BlackRock and Senior Vice President for Citigroup, where he was a Business Information Security Officer in Global Fixed Income and led third party risk assessments for several years.
Throughout his career as a practitioner, particularly as a senior risk management executive, Moyad has driven a culture of accountability and diligence in safeguarding information. He significantly contributed to the transformation and advancement of risk management as a strategic function that intersects with and helps guide all aspects of the organization.
