Blackstone taps energy director to lead GSO

The hire comes as the firm is raising capital for its $6.5bn distressed fund.

GSO Capital Partners has named Dwight Scott, the former head of its energy debt platform, as the firm’s president.

Rob Horn and Michael Zawadzki, managing directors at GSO, which is Blackstone’s credit arm, will replace Scott and become co-heads of the firm’s energy platform. Scott will still be involved in the firm’s energy credit business, according to a source familiar with the matter.
