Eby is set to join in September, according to Bloomberg’s sources. 

Eby joined Goldman Sachs as a managing director in 2021 from Credit Suisse. He assumed his most recent job title alongside Kyle Van Fleet earlier this year.  

Last month, Blue Owl agreed to buy Kuvare Asset Management as well as real estate lender Prima Capital Advisors. The firm is led by co-chief executive officers Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz.
