Apollo Global Management

New York, NY · Founded 1990 · ~$100B+ AUM

In one paragraph. Apollo Global Management is a private equity based in New York, NY managing roughly $100B+ in assets. In Tampa Bay its capital sits behind Apex Service Partners, which together control 1 local brand.

Why it invests in the trades

Apollo entered Tampa's largest home-services platform through hybrid capital rather than control. Managing Director Munesh Advani framed Apex as 'the type of high-quality business we seek to support with hybrid, partnership-oriented capital' — a structure that sits between equity and debt and lets an existing sponsor keep the wheel. For the Tampa Bay ownership story this matters because it adds a second layer of institutional capital on top of an already levered roll-up.
