KKR has promoted six dealmakers to lead its flagship private equity businesses around the world, which together have amassed $75bn in assets.

Unlike some of its peers, which operate a single global buyout fund, KKR’s business is divided up into three geographic regions: the Americas, Europe and Asia-Pacific. The firm said it has promoted a pair of executives to lead private equity investing in each region. KKR is expected to formally announce the promotions very soon.
