- Private equity giant Carlyle just promoted 32 people to partner and 39 to managing director.
- A quarter of the promotions were women, who are traditionally underrepresented on Wall Street.
- The list includes 8 real estate execs, 8 US buyout execs, and one focused on DEI.
These 71 Carlyle execs have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season.
The Washington, DC-based buyout firm, which boasts $369 billions in assets, promoted 32 of its 2,100-person workforce to partner, the highest status one can achieve at the firm. Some 39 other employees were named managing director, also on Tuesday.
The annual promotion process is a closely watched rite of passge on Wall Street because it tends to signal who are the biggest earners and power players. Goldman Sachs kicked off the process earlier this month when it promoted 80 people to partner status, its largest class since 2016.
Carlyle's promotions took place across 26 of its 29 offices around the world and will go into effect on January 1. All three of its main business segments were represented, including global private equity, global credit and global investment solutions, according to a spokesperson. Roughly 25% of the promotions were women, and 4% were from underrepresnted groups, the spokesperson said.
This year's group included eight real estate executives, two working on human capital, and one focused on DEI, or diversity, equity, and inclusion. Interestingly enough, Carlyle's Chief Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Officer, Kara Helander, helped develop and implement a new set of criteria for assessing employees up for promotions at Caryle. The firm, under Helander, has also made efforts to tie executive compensation and employee bonuses to diversity goals.
The list includes three European buyout executives and eight US buyout executives, including Tanaka Maswoswe, who leads buyouts in the industrial and transportation sectors, and was included in a 2021 Insider list highlighting some of the firm's top investors.
