Investment banker Bill Lewis (MBA 1982) has joined Apollo Global Management Inc. as a senior partner and a member of Apollo’s Management Committee.

Lewis had previously been Chairman of Investment Banking at Lazard, which he joined in 2004, notes an article announcing the move in Bloomberg. Before that, he spent 24 years at Morgan Stanley, becoming the firm's first African-American managing director in 1989. Lewis was appointed to the Board of Directors of the Harvard Management Company in 2019.

“As Apollo looks to double its assets under management over the next five years or so, the network that I can bring to the table can augment the already incredible network that it has,” Lewis told Bloomberg.
