Douglas I. Ostrover is the Co-Founder and CEO of Blue Owl Capital, a role he has held since the company's merger in May 2021. His journey in finance is impressive; he was a key player in building GSO Capital Partners, Blackstone's credit platform, where he worked as a Senior Managing Director. Before GSO, he built a successful career at Credit Suisse, leading their leveraged finance group. Douglas is not just focused on profits; he also spends time on nonprofits, serving on the boards of organizations like the Michael J. Fox Foundation. His leadership style is defined by his deep understanding of capital markets, as evidenced by his work in high yield securities and distressed investing. Under his guidance, Blue Owl has gained significant traction in the alternative asset management space, with a current compensation that reflects the company's growth: in 2023, he earned around $18.5 million, primarily from vested stock. His experience in managing large funds and understanding complex financial products helps steer Blue Owl towards a successful future.
