Blue Owl Capital appoints Jennifer Brouse to board

NEW YORK – Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE:OWL), a $31 billion investment advisory firm with strong financial health according to InvestingPro analysis, announced the appointment of Jennifer Brouse to its Board of Directors on Monday, filling a vacancy created by the resignation of Sean Ward. The decision, made by the company’s Board on March 26, 2025, was in accordance with the Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement dated August 7, 2023. The company has demonstrated robust growth, with revenue increasing by 32.6% in the last twelve months.

Brouse, currently serving as Managing Director, Chief Operating Officer of the GP Strategic Capital platform, and a member of the GP Strategic Capital Investment Team at Blue Owl, will not receive additional compensation for her role as a director. Her appointment follows the procedures outlined in the Investor Rights Agreement, which details the rights of certain former equity holders of Owl Rock and Dyal Capital. The company maintains a healthy dividend yield of 3.5% and has increased its dividend for four consecutive years, according to InvestingPro data.

The company’s filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) confirmed that Brouse has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction that would require disclosure under SEC regulations. Furthermore, she has entered into the company’s standard indemnification agreement, a common practice for directors to protect against personal liability while serving on a board.

The appointment of Brouse comes as Blue Owl Capital continues to navigate the investment advisory landscape. The company, incorporated in Delaware and headquartered on Park Avenue in New York, operates under the SIC code for Investment Advice, indicating its focus on financial planning and advice.

The information about this corporate governance update comes directly from Blue Owl Capital’s recent 8-K filing with the SEC, which provides public documentation of significant changes within publicly traded companies.
