About

Awards: https://www.apollo.com/governance/awards-disclaimer/award-fee-disclaimer-ipem Helping private wealth clients access Apollo’s alternative investment capabilities. I work closely with fund selectors and distribution teams to connect private clients with Apollo’s institutional-quality investment solutions - spanning the full risk-reward spectrum across private equity, private credit, and real assets. Backed by over a decade of experience in private markets, wealth management, capital formation, and product development, I focus on the fast-growing intersection between private markets and private wealth, with a dedicated focus on EMEA. Since 1990, Apollo has built a leading global alternative asset management platform by delivering on the promise of alternatives and staying true to our core principles: purchase price matters, seek excess return per unit of risk, and maintain strong alignment with our clients. These values underpin every client relationship I build.
