About Me

Hamilton "Tony" James was recruited to Blackstone Group in 2002 to help run its rapidly expanding private equity and asset management business. As the president and chief operating officer, James oversaw Blackstone's rise to become the biggest buyout firm on the planet, with more than $1 trillion in assets under management. He handed his day-to-day management duties to Blackstone's former head of real estate Jonathan Gray in 2018 and retired as executive vice chair in 2022. He started his career at investment bank Donaldson, Lufkin & Jenrette, then worked at Credit Suisse after it acquired DLJ, before joining Blackstone. James is a board member of several environmental nonprofits and in 2016 co-authored Rescuing Retirement, a book on solutions to the retirement crisis.
