Blue Owl expands DACH sales team
Blue Owl Capital has expanded its DACH sales team, as it looks to grow its presence across the region.
The $174bn (£136bn) alternative asset manager, which focuses on private credit, strategic capital and real estate, has appointed Antonis Maggoutas as a managing director and head of DACH for its institutional business development team.
Based in the firm’s new Frankfurt office, he will oversee Blue Owl’s sales and client services activities across all of its investment platforms, engaging with key clients across Germany, Austria and Switzerland.
Before joining Blue Owl, Maggoutas led the DACH business development team at Federated Hermes.
He is joined by Nicolas Schild, who joined Blue Owl from Geneva-based RAM Active Investments last month.
“Antonis and Nicolas are seasoned industry veterans with extensive experience in sales and client services across the DACH region,” said Blue Owl Capital head of EMEA Michael Burns.
“We are excited to welcome them along with our other new hires across Europe and the Middle East as we further expand our client coverage in these critical markets.”
The appointments are the latest in a slew of new European hires at Blue Owl.
Last month, the firm named Antonia O’Connor as a managing director and senior credit product specialist on its institutional business development team. She is based in London, leading the team responsible for overseeing Blue Owl’s private credit business across EMEA.
Johan Stromberg is also joining Blue Owl’s London team as a managing director, leading institutional business development for the Nordics.
