Blackstone hires Dickson to lead client relations

The former global head of investment banking at Citi will head a new group within the Credit & Insurance platform.

Tyler Dickson, formerly the global head of investment banking at Citi, has joined Blackstone Credit & Insurance to lead its client relations, as the head of a newly created group.

The move continues a Blackstone hiring spree as part of its effort to expand its credit and insurance platform.

Last summer, the asset manager merged the corporate credit, asset-based finance and insurance groups into the single new unit, BXCI, and appointed Gilles Dellaert its global head.
