Jesal Mistry is Managing Director and Defined Contribution Lead for the UK at Apollo Global Management. In this newly created role, he is responsible for driving the growth of Apollo’s Defined Dontribution (DC) business across the UK and Europe — expanding access to Apollo’s investment capabilities and product suite for DC stakeholders including trustees, consultants, and platform providers.

Based in London, Jesal sits within Apollo’s Defined Contribution team in the firm’s New Markets business, led by Partners and Co-Heads Neil Mehta and Jon Godsall. He brings more than two decades of UK DC experience and joins Apollo from Legal & General, where he was most recently Head of Defined Contribution Investment and helped lead the launch of the firm’s private markets offering for DC investors.

Jesal is widely recognized as a thought leader on evolving DC investment solutions — including broadening high-quality diversification opportunities for DC savers — and has been an advocate for thoughtfully expanding DC access to private markets.
