As we continue to grow, fostering connectivity and transparency is an ongoing priority.? ? At the end of September, more than 325 colleagues in the Corporate Solutions organization gathered at the NYSE for a town hall hosted by Andrew Polland, Neena Reddy and Alan Kirshenbaum. ? With topics ranging from the M&A landscape to Operational Due Diligence to AI, the town hall was an opportunity for our teams across Compliance, Corporate Operations and Strategy, Corporate Sustainability, IT, Human Resources, Legal, Facilities, Finance and Accounting, Tax, Investor Relations, Operations and Marketing – to come together and discuss top-of-mind priorities across the organization. ? In a fast-paced environment, it is invaluable to periodically gather with colleagues to take a moment to reflect on all that we have collectively accomplished and prepare for Blue Owl’s next chapter.

Congratulations to Vice President Erica Wilson on being named one of Business Insider’s Rising Stars of 2024! ?

As our deal sizes have grown, Erica has grown right along with us, and we’re excited to see how she will continue to make an impact. Read more here: https://lnkd.in/ebQuYnFH
