Pyle, who has been informally counseling Harris’s presidential campaign on economics, will advise investors on geopolitical and economic risks as a deputy head of a roughly $3.2-trillion group within the $10.6-trillion firm, BlackRock said in a memo to employees on Monday. Pyle, 46, left President Joe Biden’s administration in February, recently serving as deputy national security adviser on international economics and a negotiator at summits of the Group of Seven and Group of 20.
