Centerbridge Partners is a multi-strategy private investment firm that specializes in leveraged buyouts and distressed securities.

Centerbridge Partners, L.P. was founded in 2005 by Jeffrey Aronson and Mark Gallogly, bringing together expertise from Angelo, Gordon & Co. and the Blackstone Group. The firm operates as a multi-strategy investment house, managing over $56 billion in assets. It maintains a dual focus on control-oriented investments, such as private equity and "loan-to-own" public debt, as well as non-control opportunities in public market debt and equities.

The firm is headquartered in the Seagram Building in New York City and maintains an additional office in London. Since its inception, Centerbridge has successfully raised multiple flagship buyout funds and special credit funds, focusing on distressed debt and leveraged buyout transactions. The firm gained significant prominence for its activities in the hospitality, restaurant, and renewable energy sectors, as well as its involvement in sovereign debt restructurings.
