After 15 years at Goldman Sachs Asset Management, where she held various leadership positions, Heather von Zuben became a senior managing director at Blackstone and COO of BXPE just four months ago. The daughter of Cuban immigrants, von Zuben graduated from Columbia Law School and after her stint in the legal field at Davis Polk & Wardwell, she discovered that her passion was finance. She made the leap to Goldman Sachs where she focused on private equity business development for institutional and private wealth clients as Global Head of Private Equity Client Engagement and Product Strategy.
