We are some of the most experienced private equity investors in the world. KKR's investment professionals come from diverse backgrounds in private equity, operations, strategic consulting and finance—we've run businesses in a range of industries.

Led by founding partners Henry R. Kravis and George R. Roberts, KKR has more than 500 employees around the world, including more than 120 investment professionals. Because of the importance of making fundamental improvements in the businesses we own, KKR’s senior-level recruiting has focused on executives with strong operating experience, including some former CEOs and CFOs of companies in a range of industries.
