KKR has lined up two executives to succeed Henry Kravis and George Roberts, the co-founders of the $138bn buyout group who helped to develop the private equity industry in the 1980s.
KKR已安排两名高管接替其联合创始人亨利?克拉维斯(Henry Kravis)和乔治?罗伯茨(George Roberts)。这个规模为1380亿美元的收购集团，曾在上世纪80年代帮助促进私募股权产业的发展。
In a rare move for an industry where succession plans are not usually set out publicly, Scott Nuttall and Joseph Bae have been appointed as co-presidents and co-chief operating officers and members of the private equity firm’s board of directors.对于一个通常不公开拟定继承计划的产业来说，上述举措十分罕见。依照上述举措，斯科特?纳托尔(Scott Nuttall)和约瑟夫?贝(Joseph Bae)已被任命为联席总裁和联席首席运营官，并被任命为该私募股权公司的董事会成员。Long rumoured to be favourites to fill the founders’ shoes, Mr Nuttall, 44, and Mr Bae, 45, will be in charge of day-to-day operations.现年44岁的纳托尔和现年45岁的贝长期据传是接替两位创始人的最佳人选，他们将负责该公司的日常运营。Mr Kravis and Mr Roberts, who are both in their early 70s, will continue to lead the group as co-chairmen and co-chief executive officers. The pair founded KKR in 1976, but came to prominence following the $25bn RJR Nabisco buyout in 1988 that was featured in the bestselling book, Barbarians at the Gate.
克拉维斯和罗伯茨都处于70岁出头的年龄段，他们将继续以联席董事长和联席首席执行官的身份领导该集团。两人于1976年创立了KKR，不过他们一举成名是在1988年以250亿美元收购RJR纳比斯科(RJR Nabisco)之后，该交易曾被写入畅销书《门口的野蛮人》(Barbarians at the Gate)。
