Description

COMPANY OVERVIEW KKR is a leading global investment firm that offers alternative asset management as well as capital markets and insurance solutions. KKR aims to generate attractive investment returns by following a patient and disciplined investment approach, employing world-class people, and supporting growth in its portfolio companies and communities. KKR sponsors investment funds that invest in private equity, credit and real assets and has strategic partners that manage hedge funds. KKR’s insurance subsidiaries offer retirement, life and reinsurance products under the management of Global Atlantic Financial Group. References to KKR’s investments may include the activities of its sponsored funds and insurance subsidiaries. KKR is a global investment firm with nearly five decades of investment management experience with ~US$774 billion in AUM as of December 31, 2025. KKR is headquartered in New York and has a presence in 36 cities across four continents – combining local expertise with a global perspective. KKR globally manages investments across multiple asset classes, including private equity, real assets, and credit strategies. In addition, KKR Capital Markets supports our firm, portfolio companies, and clients by providing tailored capital markets advice and financing solutions. KKR Capstone, with a mission to create value for all of our stakeholders by identifying and delivering sustainable operational performance within KKR portfolio companies, is also an integral part of the firm’s overall approach to value creation. KKR’s Client Solutions team seeks to diversify KKR’s client base to include new investors across all regions and institution types, including a growing focus on individual, private wealth investors. KKR first established its presence in Asia Pacific in 2005. Since then, KKR has grown to approximately US$80 billion in AUM across all asset classes and strategies, including private equity, infrastructure, real estate, credit, impact, and growth equity. In Asia Pacific, KKR has ~600 executives working across business functions and asset classes with offices in Beijing, Gurugram, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo. While nearly all executives are local to their market – and are adept at proprietary sourcing, relationship building, and best practices considerations within their markets – each executive works closely with KKR’s team worldwide to leverage the firm’s experience and expertise. KKR has a very collaborative culture where an individual’s success is the result of good skills and acumen in the role and ability to leverage the whole firm. They think in terms of “we”, not “I” and we know we are better together than one single person – no matter how skilled that person is. “One Firm,” collaboration, operating with “like and trust” are core to how KKR operates. The person who joins in this role is joining a Product Operations team but also a team of ~4,600 people across the firm and we all work together to support each other in delivering the best of KKR to our companies and clients. They are all on the same team. They operate with one P&L where most places have silos. It’s not for everyone but their one team mindset keeps KKR special and enables them to achieve great things for their clients. For additional information about KKR & Co. Inc.
