Blackstone Credit appointed Abby Miller chief accounting officer and treasurer of Blackstone Private Credit Fund (BCRED) and Blackstone Secured Lending Fund (BXSL), Blackstone Credit’s business development companies. BCRED and BXSL are part of the direct lending platform within Blackstone’s $230 billion credit business, the firm’s fastest growing segment.

Miller brings more than 15 years of accounting and audit experience, predominantly within large financial services institutions. She joins Blackstone Credit from BlackRock, where she most recently served as chief financial officer and treasurer of its BDC, BlackRock Capital Investment.

“Abby’s tremendous finance and accounting experience and deep private and public markets expertise will be extremely additive to the operations of our BDCs,” Brad Marshall, head of North America private credit at Blackstone and CEO and chair of the board of trustees of both BCRED and BXSL, said. “We’re thrilled to welcome her to the team.”

“The Blackstone Credit team has built an exceptional direct lending platform that not only supports the growth of high-caliber private companies through its capital, resources and scale but is expanding access to the private credit asset class for a broader range of income-focused investors,” Miller said. “I look forward to contributing to the continued expansion of the business.”

Prior to joining BlackRock in 2017, Miller was executive director, accounting policy and quality assurance at Rabobank, North America region, and previously served as assistant controller of Rabobank’s North America wholesale business. She has held various controllership roles at financial services institutions including Fortress Investment Group and MUFG Americas, having started her career as an auditor at EY.
