Audax Credit BDC Names Kris Corbett CFO as Richard Joseph Steps Down

Corbett, who ran finance for New Mountain Capital’s BDCs before joining Audax this year, arrives alongside a new interim compliance chief.

November 9, 2026

Audax Credit BDC Inc. has named Kris Corbett chief financial officer and treasurer, replacing Richard Joseph, who resigned from both roles effective at the close of business on November 4, 2026. The board made a second change the same day, appointing Grant Bokerman as interim chief compliance officer in place of Jason Scoffield, who also stepped down.

The company said neither departure resulted from a disagreement with the company, its adviser or their affiliates over operations, policies or practices.

The Incoming Officers

Corbett, 51, is a managing director and CFO of Audax Management Company (NY), LLC, part of Audax Private Debt. He joined Audax in 2026 from New Mountain Capital, where he was credit CFO and served as CFO and treasurer of New Mountain Finance Corporation, a publicly traded BDC, as well as New Mountain Private Credit Fund and other private business development companies. Earlier he worked at Blackstone Credit, Perella Weinberg Partners, King Street Capital Management and Ziff Brothers Investments, after starting out in public accounting at PricewaterhouseCoopers. He holds a B.A. in accounting from the University of Massachusetts, is a certified public accountant in New York and is a CFA charterholder.

Bokerman, 41, is a managing director and counsel at Audax Private Debt, an affiliate of both the company and its investment adviser. Before joining Audax in 2024, he was a managing director at Blackstone Inc., serving as legal counsel to the firm's credit business. He previously worked as a corporate associate at Debevoise & Plimpton in New York, in its finance and mergers and acquisitions practice groups. He holds a J.D. from the Ohio State University Moritz College of Law and a B.A. from Ohio State University.

Same Appointments at Audax Private Credit Fund

Audax Private Credit Fund, LLC, another BDC affiliated with Audax Private Debt, made the same two appointments effective the same day. Corbett became that fund's CFO, succeeding interim CFO Alexander Gardiner, and Bokerman became its interim chief compliance officer, also replacing Scoffield. In its July subscription close, the fund took in $42.2 million of new equity.
