Eric Needleman leads capital markets, structuring, and global syndication at Apollo Capital Solutions, working to make private credit more tradable and transparent through efforts like real-time pricing data and a large data-sharing partnership with ICE covering thousands of deals. Drawing on a background running fixed income and market-making businesses at firms like Stifel, Sterne Agee, and KBC, he now also helps lead Apollo's Austin hub and speaks publicly on scaling the firm's financing platform, reflecting a focus on building market infrastructure rather than just picking deals.
