Blue Owl has scaled to over $250B of AUM and has proven to be one of the top firms at raising capital from the wealth channel.Marc is a private markets industry veteran who has been instrumental in building not just one, but two of the industry’s biggest players.He spent over two decades at KKR, serving on the firm’s Management Committee, and as the Global Head of Energy and Infrastructure after joining the firm as one of the first 20 employees. He then partnered with Blackstone GSO Founder Doug Ostrover and Goldman Sachs Partner and Co-Head of Leveraged Finance Craig Packer to co-found Owl Rock Capital Partners, the predecessor firm to Blue Owl’s Credit platform. Owl Rock combined with Dyal Capital Partners to become the publicly traded entity Blue Owl in May 2021 and has since grown to over $250B in AUM and $2.2B in revenue.Owl Rock and now, Blue Owl’s, flight is emblematic of the evolution of alternative asset managers.
