About Me

Marc Rowan is the CEO and a cofounder of Apollo Global Management, one of the biggest U.S. private equity firms, with $785 billion in assets. Rowan met Apollo cofounders Leon Black and Joshua Harris while working at investment bank Drexel Burnham Lambert's M&A division. The trio founded Apollo in 1990, after Drexel filed for bankruptcy following a cash shortage caused by turmoil in the junk bond market. Rowan and his cofounders took Apollo Global public in 2011. Rowan replaced Black as Apollo's CEO in 2021, after the latter stepped amid controversy surrounding his longtime relationship with sexual predator Jeffrey Epstein.
