Vishal Sheth's path from a financial institutions lawyer at Skadden to a FIG banker at Barclays to Apollo's Co-Head of Global FIG gives him a rare mix of legal, banking, and investing experience focused specifically on financial services and insurance, and he sits on the boards of Athene, Athora, Venerable Holdings, and ACRA while explaining how Apollo's insurance companies keep their own independent investment decision-making separate from Apollo's role in originating and managing risk. He also has a more personal, memorable public presence than most senior investors, once describing himself through headphones on, loud music, and Brooklyn coffee in hand.
