LONDON and NEW YORK, April 17, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo (NYSE: APO) today announced the opening of a new office in London, United Kingdom, strengthening its presence in Europe and building on the firm’s successful track record in the region. The transition to a single, modern space in London reflects Apollo’s desire to offer a best-in-class workplace for its teams and expand its offering of leading, integrated asset management and retirement services capabilities on a global basis, including across European markets.

Apollo will bring together its teams from offices at 10 Portman Square and 25 St George Street into a new construction location at 1 Soho Place covering 88,000 square feet over 4 floors.

Apollo CEO Marc Rowan said, “London is a global financial hub where we have assembled a growing, diverse and highly talented team. While we are strong believers in having a local presence across geographies, we also need an anchor location where our people can meet, collaborate and innovate. That is what we’re launching in London today, which I am confident will enable our team to work together to execute on our global growth strategy.”

Rob Seminara, Partner and Head of Europe, added, “Our new London office will provide our people with one of the region’s best, state-of-the-art workspaces.
