Blackstone announced the appointment of Philip Sherrill as Global Head of Insurance. In his new role, Mr. Sherrill will focus on growing the firm?s insurance platform globally, working closely with Gilles Dellaert, Global Head of Blackstone Credit & Insurance. Blackstone?s insurance platform has tripled in size since 2020, recently surpassing $200 billion in assets under management.

The platform leverages the firm?s scale and breadth to serve Blackstone?s insurance clients, to drive stronger long-term performance, and, ultimately to meet the needs of more policyholders. Mr. Sherrill was previously Chief Strategy Officer at Global Atlantic Financial Group, where, for more than a decade, he led corporate strategy, mergers and acquisitions, capital raising, and other strategic initiatives across business lines, serving on the firm?s Management Committee, Investment Committee, Operating Committee, Risk Committee, and Capital Committee, among other leadership roles. Mr. Sherrill worked at Goldman Sachs prior to Global Atlantic?s separation from Goldman, and holds an A.B. in Social Studies from Harvard College.
