FYI: While at Barclays Global Investors, Lee Kranefuss was the architect of the iShares family of ETFs, which launched in 2000, and headed up the unit until 2010, shortly after BGI was acquired from Barclays by BlackRock. By the time he departed, iShares had roughly $600 billion in assets under management and was the largest ETF provider in the world. For much of that time, he also oversaw more than $1.5 trillion in assets under management through BGI's other business units.
