Grays Peak Private Credit (“GPPC”), an investment manager focused on senior secured lending to government contractors and other mission-critical counterparties, today announced the appointment of Stephen Johnson as Chief Investment Officer. Johnson, a 25-year veteran of private and public credit markets, will lead GPPC’s investment strategy, portfolio construction, and risk oversight as the firm continues to expand its lending platform serving government-backed and essential-service borrowers.

“Steve brings a depth of experience in credit investing and special situations that aligns perfectly with GPPC’s disciplined, fundamentals-driven approach,” said Scott Stevens, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Grays Peak Capital. “His leadership will be instrumental as we continue scaling our platform and delivering performance built on strong collateral coverage, consistent underwriting standards, and proactive portfolio management.”

“Over the last decade, Scott has established himself as a true leader and visionary,” said Stephen Johnson, Chief Investment Officer. “With our latest fund, he has assembled a great team that together will continue to deliver attractive risk-adjusted outcomes for our investors while solving urgent working-capital needs for high-quality counterparties.”

Founded on a mission-aligned investment philosophy, Grays Peak Private Credit combines proprietary sourcing channels with AI-driven underwriting to deliver secure lending and measurable impact. Through specialized programs such as the Grays Peak Private Credit GovCon Fund, GPPC provides bridge financing to U.S. businesses awaiting disbursement of government-backed loans or guarantees—enabling timely execution of critical infrastructure, energy, and defense initiatives. The firm’s “GovCon” strategy addresses a financing gap in federally supported programs, a segment representing over $200 billion in opportunities spanning the Department of Transportation, Department of Energy, Department of Commerce, and Department of Agriculture.

Building on this foundation, Grays Peak Private Credit recently announced the launch of Fund II, which will expand the platform’s reach by providing senior secured, first-lien financing to government contractors and other mission-critical businesses across essential sectors. Leveraging GPPC’s proprietary AI-driven analytics, real-time monitoring, and disciplined structuring, Fund II seeks to underwrite, price, and manage risk with both speed and precision—furthering GPPC’s mission of financing growth that strengthens America’s economic infrastructure.
