Sound Point Capital Management, a credit-oriented investment manager overseeing approximately $43 billion in total assets, announced the appointment of Dan Fabian as Global Chief Financial Officer, effective immediately. He succeeds Kevin Gerlitz, who is retiring after a distinguished tenure as the firm’s long-serving Chief Financial Officer.
“We’re thrilled to welcome Dan to Sound Point,” said Stephen Ketchum, Founder and Managing Partner of Sound Point Capital. “His deep expertise across the asset management landscape and proven ability to scale global investment platforms makes him an invaluable addition to our leadership team, and the ideal person to help lead Sound Point through our next chapter of growth.”
Fabian brings over 20 years of experience in senior financial and operational roles within the asset management industry and will play a key role in supporting Sound Point’s global strategy. He most recently served as President, COO and CFO at Alcentra, where he led the firm through significant phases of growth and organizational transformation.
“I’m honored to be joining Sound Point at such an exciting time in the firm’s journey,” said Fabian. “Sound Point has built a strong reputation for disciplined investing and client partnership. I look forward to working closely with Steve, the leadership team, and our global colleagues to help support and scale the platform in the years ahead.”
As part of this transition, Gerlitz, who has been with the firm since its inception in 2008, will retire from his role and remain with the firm as a Senior Advisor. As the first employee of Sound Point, Gerlitz played a foundational role in building and scaling the firm’s finance and operations functions over the past 16 years.
“We are deeply grateful to Kevin for his extraordinary contributions and steadfast leadership,” continued Ketchum. “He has been an integral part of Sound Point’s story to date, and his commitment, integrity, and steady hand have left a lasting impact. We are pleased that he will remain with us in a Senior Advisor capacity during this transition.”
