“With the leadership of the Board of Directors, Carlyle conducted a thorough process to identify, assess and select our next generation of leaders. We are confident that Glenn, Kewsong and Pete are the right leaders to build upon Carlyle’s track record of innovation, investment success and leadership. With the firm in great shape, a strong portfolio, and a talented and stable group of leaders at the firm, now is the right time to announce the new leadership team.”
