Scott Kapnick is founder and CEO of HPS Investment Partners, one of the world's biggest alternative credit managers with $149 billion in assets.
He spent 21 years at Goldman Sachs, rising to become co-head of investment banking and co-CEO of Goldman Sachs International.
He left Goldman in 2007 to join hedge fund Highbridge Capital after its sale to JPMorgan, eventually building up its credit arm HPS.
Kapnick was CEO of Highbridge from 2013 until 2016, when he and the principals bought HPS from JPMorgan in a carveout. Assets have since swelled.
He sold HPS to BlackRock in July 2025 for around $12 billion in BlackRock stock.
