Stephanie Drescher
The Architect
Structured and legacy-driven; builds the systems and institutions that last.
Stephanie Drescher reads as The Architect because she builds before she sells. Her development of Apollo's wealth channel is framed as a multi-decade institutional commitment rather than a sales initiative, backed by sixteen proprietary origination engines and a billion dollars invested in wealthtech.
“Yes, so the channels represented in wealth include the private banks and wires as one channel. The independence, which includes RIAs and independent broker dealers. Family office is also kind of under our wealth umbrella. That's the ultra high net worth space selectively.”
“Yeah. So from a kind of balance sheet perspective, we are often one of, if not the largest investors side by side with our third-party clients in the investments and strategies that we manage. So through our retirement services business Athene, as well as our third party business, we invest side by side.”
“So, look, since the day I joined, there have been certain common themes to our culture, which I think have always kind of propelled us forward as a firm, now public, but very much feels like a partnership.”
“With private market structures in mind. So it kind of goes back to that idea of public markets being safe and private markets being risky. That's no longer kind of the thinking in the market.”
