In this role, Sherrill’s remit focuses on growing the firm’s insurance platform globally, working closely with Gilles Dellaert, Global Head of Blackstone Credit & Insurance, who commented, “We are very pleased to welcome Phil to Blackstone as Global Head of Insurance.
“Our credit and insurance business is experiencing enormous growth momentum, and we see a significant opportunity set ahead of us. Phil’s experience and expertise will be instrumental in taking our platform’s growth to the next level.”
Before joining Blackstone, Sherrill served as the Chief Strategy Officer at Global Atlantic Financial Group.

He also served on the firm’s Management Committee, Investment Committee, Operating Committee, Risk Committee, and Capital Committee, among other leadership roles.
