Tristram Leach is a London-based Apollo investor who rose from the firm's Global Corporate Credit team to become CIO, EMEA and Co-Head of European Credit & Hybrid Equity, bringing a background as a hedge fund partner at Cheyne Capital that shapes his more markets-driven view of credit. He's known for framing private credit as a massive, largely investment-grade market funded by long-term insurance-style capital, pointing to major financings for companies like BP, Intel, EDF, and RWE, as well as newer areas like football-transfer financing and Europe's broader needs in defense, AI, and infrastructure.
