He has been a Managing Director at Kayne Anderson since 2021 and has been focused on Kayne Anderson’s private credit strategies during his entire tenure at the firm.

“Frank played a pivotal role in the formation of KBDC and was instrumental in leading our IPO process and the recent strategic investment into SG Credit. Having worked alongside him for more than a decade I’ve had the opportunity to witness his investment expertise, focus on lasting borrower partnerships, and strong alignment with our collaborative culture. I have full confidence that Frank and the broader Kayne Anderson leadership team, will continue to advance our growth strategy and deliver compelling risk-adjusted returns for our shareholders,” said Doug Goodwillie, Co-CEO of KBDC.

“We’ve known Andy for many years, dating back to the early stages of our IPO process when he was a senior banker at Wells Fargo,” said Ken Leonard, Co-CEO of KBDC. “Bringing him onto the team earlier this year has allowed us to deepen our expertise and expand our connectivity across both the buy side and sell side.
