Carlyle Hires Next CEO


WSJ
reported:

Carlyle Group Inc. plans to name investment-banking veteran Harvey Schwartz its new chief executive, according to people familiar with the matter.

Schwartz was co-CEO of Goldman Sachs Group.   He is currently a board member at SoFi.  His bio in their latest DEF14A states:

Mr. Schwartz has served as a member of our Board of Directors since May 2021. Mr. Schwartz is a business leader, investor and philanthropist, and, as both an investor and advisor, he is currently involved in a range of investment and philanthropic endeavors focused on modernizing and strengthening the financial system, the physical and mental health management of individuals and the development of future business leaders, including women and young people seeking a career in finance.
Mr. Schwartz has served as the group chairperson and non-executive director of The Bank of London, a clearing and transaction bank with operations in London and New York City, since November 2021. In addition, Mr. Schwartz serves on the board of One Mind, a mental health and brain research nonprofit organization.
In April 2018, Mr. Schwartz retired from Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (“Goldman Sachs”) following 20+ years at the company where he oversaw sales and trading, finance, technology and operations, and held numerous senior leadership positions, including Chief Financial Officer, Global Co-Head of the Securities Division, Head of Securities Division Sales, Head of North American Sales and Co-Head of the Americas Financing Group. He completed his tenure as Goldman Sachs’ President and Co-Chief Operation Officer. Mr. Schwartz also served as a member of Goldman Sachs’ Management Committee and co-headed its Risk Committee, Steering Committee on Regulatory Reform and Finance Committee, and he established and served on Goldman Sachs’ Investment Policy Committee. Prior to Goldman Sachs, Mr. Schwartz spent a decade working at several other financial firms, including Citicorp from 1990 through 1997.

How long will Harvey Schwartz last in the Carlyle executive carousel? 

Update 2-9-23:  FT ran a piece on Schwartz calling him a "street fighter."  Funny, former Carlyle co-CEO and now Virginia Governor Glenn Youngkin owns a stake in a Professional Fighters League.
