Top Private Equity Carlyle Appoints Goldman Sachs President Harvey Schwartz as CEO, Global AUM of $373 Billion with 3 Business Segments in Private Equity, Global Credit & Global Investment Solutions

10th February 2023 | Hong Kong

Top Private Equity firm Carlyle with $373 billion AUM (Assets under Management) has appointed former Goldman Sachs President & Co-COO Harvey Schwartz as the new Carlyle CEO, leading the private equity group with 3 business segments in Private Equity, Global Credit & Global Investment Solutions (15/2/23).  Carlyle interim CEO Bill Conway will step down and continue his role as Co-Chairman of the Board.  Carlyle: “Harvey Schwartz is the former President and Co-Chief Operating Officer of The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS), and prior to that, served as the firm’s Chief Financial Officer, where he oversaw its most critical financial and risk management processes as well as its capital allocation strategy. He also held leadership roles across a broad range of the firm’s operations, including its Securities and Investment Banking divisions, where he was instrumental in driving the growth of a number of the firm’s client franchises.  With a career spanning more than 35 years in the industry, Mr. Schwartz brings to Carlyle extensive experience leading and expanding a wide range of large, profitable businesses, as well as a deep understanding of global capital markets and the needs of clients. Importantly, he has a proven track record as a seasoned operator and a demonstrated ability to develop high-performing talent and teams in order to capitalize fully on growth opportunities, in all macroeconomic and regulatory environments.  At Carlyle, Mr. Schwartz will be responsible for setting and executing a strategy that advances and accelerates the diversification plan the firm has successfully pursued, as well as identifying new investment opportunities to further grow and scale the firm, drive sustained performance for fund investors, and create significant shareholder value.”  In 2022 August, Carlyle Group CEO Kewsong Lee has resigned ahead of his 5 years contract ending at the end of 2022 after contract renewal discussion failed, with Carlyle Group co-founder Bill Conway appointed as the interim CEO and a board formed to search for a new CEO.  In 2021, Kewsong Lee had earned around $42 million and had requested for a pay package worth around $300 million for 5 years, in line with top private equity firms KKR & Apollo.  In late 2017, Carlyle Group had named Kewsong Lee and Glenn Youngkin as co-CEOs, succeeding David Rubenstein & Conway as co-CEOs.  In July 2022, Glenn Youngkin retired (Elected & won United States’ Virginia governorship 2021), with Kewsong Lee appointed as the sole CEO of Carlyle Group.

11th August 2022 – Top private equity firm Carlyle Group with $376 billion assets under management CEO Kewsong Lee has resigned immediately ahead of his 5 years contract ending at the end of 2022 after contract renewal discussion failed, with Carlyle Group co-founder Bill Conway appointed as the interim CEO and a board formed to search for a new CEO.  In 2021, Kewsong Lee had earned around $42 million and had requested for a pay package worth around $300 million for 5 years, in line with top private equity firms KKR & Apollo.  In late 2017, Carlyle Group had named Kewsong Lee and Glenn Youngkin as co-CEOs, succeeding David Rubenstein & Conway as co-CEOs.  In July 2022, Glenn Youngkin retired (Elected & won United States’ Virginia governorship 2021), with Kewsong Lee appointed as the sole CEO of Carlyle Group.

 

The Carlyle Group Statement

Carlyle Group Kewsong Lee 2022 Q2 Earnings Report

Global investment firm The Carlyle Group Inc. (Nasdaq: CG) (“Carlyle” or “the Company”) today announced changes in its executive leadership team. With Chief Executive Officer Kewsong Lee’s five-year employment agreement coming to a close at the end of 2022, both the Company’s Board of Directors and Mr. Lee mutually agreed as part of their discussions that the timing is right to initiate a search for a new CEO to lead Carlyle forward in its next phase of growth. Mr. Lee will step down today as CEO and a member of the Board of Directors. He will be available as needed to assist in a transition during the months ahead. The Board has appointed William Conway, Co-Founder, current Non-Executive Co-Chairman of the Board, and former Co-CEO, to serve as Interim CEO.

A newly-formed Search Committee of the Board will drive the search for a permanent successor. The Board’s Search Committee will include Mr. Conway as well as independent directors Lawton Fitt, Anthony Welters, Linda Filler, and Derica Rice. The Board will immediately engage an executive search firm to identify and assess candidates for the permanent CEO position.

Mr. Conway said, “The Board is grateful to Kewsong for everything he has done to position Carlyle for the future. As Carlyle undertakes this process to select a new leader, we do so from a position of strength, a testament to the performance of our talented team. Today, Carlyle is a more diversified, resilient firm with the resources to continue to invest in accelerating our growth trajectory. Looking ahead, our objective remains to execute on our vision of enhancing scale, speed, and performance in order to grow and deliver sustainable results, in any investment environment.”

Mr. Lee said, “I am grateful for my time at Carlyle and thankful for the opportunity to build the firm with an incredibly talented and committed team. I feel immense pride in our many accomplishments during these complex and challenging times, especially the firm’s record financial results, strong investment performance, and continued leadership on DEI and ESG initiatives. Diversified and durable, Carlyle is now well-positioned to capitalize on many exciting areas of attractive growth. I wish my colleagues at Carlyle well as they continue to set the highest standards for integrity and value creation in the asset management industry.”

To assist Mr. Conway as he fulfills his duties as Interim CEO and assure a seamless transition once a permanent successor has been identified, an Office of the CEO has been established. Peter Clare, Chief Investment Officer for Corporate Private Equity and Chairman of Americas Private Equity, Mark Jenkins, Head of Global Credit, Ruulke Bagijn, Head of Global Investment Solutions, Curtis Buser, Chief Financial Officer, Christopher Finn, Chief Operating Officer, and Bruce Larson, Chief Human Resources Officer, will comprise the Office of the CEO and will work alongside Mr. Conway to continue driving forward Carlyle’s strategy and build on the firm’s strong momentum. To further facilitate a seamless transition, Mr. Finn has agreed to defer his previously-announced retirement at the end of this year.

Ms. Fitt, Carlyle’s Lead Independent Director, said, “On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Kewsong for his contribution to the Company during his tenure. Carlyle has built on its enviable legacy while diversifying its asset base and earnings streams, driving scale, and identifying new opportunities to further drive performance. Going forward, the Company will benefit from a fresh perspective to build upon its strengths and capitalize fully on its long-term future growth opportunities, regardless of macroeconomic headwinds.  As the search for a permanent CEO proceeds, we are very pleased that Bill will lead Carlyle through this transition, as the Company remains focused on continuing to enhance value for its public shareholders and limited partners.”

Consistent with its previously-reported second quarter earnings results, the Company noted that, as of June 30, 2022, total Assets Under Management was $376 billion, of which $260 billion was fee earning, and available capital for future investment was $81 billion. The Company is again reaffirming its 2022 Fee Related Earnings target of $850 million, and its prior performance revenue guidance.
