Tikehau has appointed former Blackstone senior managing director Debra Anderson to manage its pan-European private debt division in London.

Anderson will work in the firm's London office alongside fund manager Patrick Marshall, who joined the firm in September last year alongside Axa Private Equity's Cécile Mayer-Levi, who works in Tikehau's Paris office.

Anderson's new role will see her take responsibility for expanding Tikehau's credit business across Europe alongside Marshall.

She joins Tikehau following her role as senior managing director at Blackstone and its credit arm, GSO Capital Partners. During her time there she established and managed Blackstone's European collateralised loan obligation (CLO) operations, as well as co-managing GSO's European customised credit strategies business.

At Blackstone/GSO, Anderson was responsible for four originated CLO funds and several CLO acquisitions. She left the firm in 2012, having joined in 2005.

Prior to her stint at Blackstone, Anderson held the position of leveraged loan portfolio manager at Intermediate Capital Group. She has also headed up Abbey National's leveraged and acquisition finance lending division.
