Kevin Berrigan: Contributing to Blackstone’s Treasury Capital Markets with Steady Ascent and Institutional Impact 

Company: 

Blackstone

Kevin Berrigan serves as a VP on the Treasury Capital Markets team at Blackstone, where he focuses on capital structuring, origination, and liquidity solutions that support the firm’s broad alternative-asset platform. 

A Northeastern University alumnus with a B.S. in Business Administration from the Honors Program, Berrigan began his career at Blackstone in 2014 as an intern. He steadily rose through roles as analyst, associate, and assistant vice president before being promoted to VP in 2024 — a trajectory that speaks to both his technical expertise and institutional trust. 

Blackstone’s Treasury Capital Markets group has navigated complex fund-level financing, managed credit and liquidity structures, and supported large-scale private-asset strategies — all while maintaining rigorous underwriting and risk standards. Berrigan is known for blending analytical precision with a forward-looking mindset, helping to optimize capital flows in a challenging macro environment. 

He is being honored with the Connect Money Next Generation Alternative Investment Award for embodying the next wave of credit and capital markets leadership: technically adept, strategically minded, and deeply committed to enabling scalable, institution-grade alternative investment solutions that serve both investors and the broader financial ecosystem.
