Robert Seminara, Head of Apollo Europe
The Wharton Club UK is delighted to invite you to a distinctive evening that brings together the strength of our alumni network with one of the world’s leading investment institutions.
We are deeply honoured to be hosted by Apollo Global Management and, in particular, by fellow Wharton alumnus Robert Seminara, Partner and Head of Europe.
Apollo stands as one of the preeminent global platforms in private capital, with a long-standing reputation for disciplined investing, scale, and innovation across credit, private equity, and real assets. At the centre of its European business, Rob has been instrumental in building and shaping the firm’s presence across the region over more than two decades.
This evening will offer a rare opportunity to hear Rob’s perspectives—spanning his journey from Wharton to senior leadership at Apollo, the firm’s evolution into a global powerhouse, and his views on the opportunities and risks shaping today’s markets.
Designed as an intimate and candid conversation, the event reflects the Wharton Club’s commitment to creating thoughtful, high-quality exchanges within our community.
This is a limited-capacity event, with priority for attendance given to Wharton Club UK members. Tickets are non-refundable and only one ticket per person is permitted.
