Christopher Kill

Christopher Kill is a Senior Managing Director at Andalusian Credit Partners ("ACP"), a U.S. middle-market direct-lending platform that provides diversified senior secured leveraged loans to both sponsor-backed and non-sponsored companies. ACP is the private-credit arm of Andalusian, a New York–based investment and advisory firm reporting more than $2.8 billion in commitments across its affiliates as of June 30, 2025. The credit business is led by CEO and CIO Aaron Kless, with Roger W. Ferguson, Jr. as Executive Chairman and Joseph Otting (former U.S. Comptroller of the Currency) as Vice Chairman.

Before joining Andalusian, Kill spent years as a senior investment professional at Apollo Global Management, where he was a Managing Director in Credit and served as co-head of underwriting for the direct-lending team. In that role he was responsible for the full investing process — structuring, underwriting and managing credit investments — overseeing a team focused on senior secured debt and unitranche financings supporting multiple Apollo vehicles, including both public and private business development companies (BDCs).

Earlier in his career, Kill held roles at Antares Capital (and its GE Capital / GE Antares predecessor) and at Merrill, building a long track record in private debt and leveraged finance. He earned a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Business and a Master of Science in Finance from the University of Rochester (Simon Business School).

Note on the supplied stub: the labels "Angel Investors" and "Seed Round" do not match the verifiable record. Christopher Kill is a corporate/private-credit and direct-lending professional who underwrites debt for established middle-market businesses, not an angel investor making seed-stage equity checks.

• Invests through private credit / direct lending, not venture equity — originating and underwriting senior secured loans and unitranche facilities for middle-market companies.
• Lends to both private-equity-sponsored and non-sponsored borrowers across diverse industries; Andalusian markets "flexible and creative financing solutions" for business growth.
• Underwriting discipline is the core competency: at Apollo he co-led underwriting for the direct-lending platform, structuring deals to support BDCs and other credit vehicles.
• Target borrowers are established, cash-flow-generating companies seeking leveraged financing — i.e., a credit-quality and downside-protection lens rather than an early-stage growth-equity lens.
