KKR, a leading global investment firm, today announced that Pete Stavros and Nate Taylor have been named Global Co-Heads of KKR’s Private Equity (“PE”) business. Since 2019, Stavros and Taylor have served as Co-Heads of Private Equity in the Americas.

As Global Co-Heads, Stavros and Taylor will work closely with regional PE leadership and teams around the world to support alignment on global investment themes, share best practices and operational playbooks and facilitate greater mobility of talent.

Of the appointment, Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR, stated: “We are incredibly proud of our strong track record in Private Equity and the firm’s leadership positions in the US, Europe and Asia. This new global role will further optimize the culture of collaboration that underpins the success we deliver for clients.”

KKR’s Private Equity business has nearly doubled in assets under management since 2019. As of December 31, 2022, the $165 billion PE business includes approximately 300 investment professionals looking after a portfolio of more than 200 companies in KKR’s flagship Private Equity, Middle Market, Core Private Equity, Healthcare Growth, Technology Growth, Impact, and Customized Portfolio Solutions strategies.

In the flagship PE business, the firm manages three regional funds and operates with local leadership and global connectivity.

Bae and Nuttall added: “Over their nearly two decades at KKR, Nate and Pete have proven themselves as not only extraordinary investors, but true role models and leaders within the Firm. They have also instituted a number of innovative frameworks for value creation, including broad based employee ownership and operational toolkits that have been instrumental in delivering value to our portfolio companies, their employees and communities, and for our clients.”

“We are honored by this appointment and look forward to supporting KKR’s local investment teams by delivering the Firm’s global network, resources and expertise to highly localized investment opportunities worldwide,” Pete Stavros and Nate Taylor, Global Co-Heads of Private Equity, said.
