Blackstone Inc. is hiring a pair of credit veterans to cover investment-grade deals as the world’s largest alternative-asset manager continues its expansion into private credit.

The hires, who come from KKR & Co. and Ares Management respectively, will focus on asset-based debt, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. Andie Goh, mostly recently from Ares where she focused on asset-based deals across private and public markets, will start in early January, said the person who declined to be identified as the matter is private.
