Alan Waxman

Alan Waxman co-founded Sixth Street Partners (formerly known as TPG Specialty Lending) after building his career at Goldman Sachs and TPG. Sixth Street has become one of the more innovative alternative asset managers, deploying capital across credit, equity, and growth investments in nontraditional areas. Notable transactions include providing $1 billion in financing to Airbnb during the COVID-19 pandemic when the company faced a liquidity crisis, investing in streaming royalties via Spotify deal, purchasing the San Antonio Spurs NBA team, and various other creative financing solutions.
