Apollo Global Management has appointed Laura González as Managing Director of its global wealth business for US Offshore and Latin America, sources at the firm confirmed to Funds Society.
González, currently Head of Allfunds for the Americas (U.S. and LatAm), will take on her new role in May. With over 13 years at Allfunds, she initially oversaw Iberia and Latin America before being promoted to Head of the Americas in 2022, according to her LinkedIn profile.
Apollo, a firm specializing in alternative investments, has set “ambitious goals” of reaching $150 billion by 2029, a target announced during its Investor Day in October 2024.
For Apollo, González is a seasoned professional who will play a crucial role in expanding the firm’s ability to serve these markets.
“Expanding our Global Wealth business is a key priority for Apollo as we respond to growing investor demand for private market solutions that offer greater diversification beyond the traditional 60/40 portfolio model. We are committed to providing institutional-quality offerings tailored to the distinct needs of individual and wealth investors,” said Stephanie Drescher, Partner and Chief Client & Product Development Officer at Apollo, in a statement accessed by Funds Society.
Apollo’s Global Wealth unit aims to deliver a comprehensive range of alternative investment solutions across asset classes such as credit, equity, and real assets, structured in ways that prioritize the needs of end investors, the firm added.
