Washington, DC, April 16, 2021 – Global investment firm The Carlyle Group Inc.

  • Upon the completion of the investment period of Carlyle Global Financial Services Partners III, L.P., Financial Services will be integrated as a sector within US Buyout and Growth and John Redett will continue as Head of Global Financial Services, adding a sixth core industry to the platform.

Leadership across the platform’s four additional sectors includes:

  • Ian Fujiyama, Head of Global Aerospace, Defense and Government Services
  • Patrick McCarter, Head of Global TMT- Technology and Business Services
  • Jay Sammons, Head of Global Consumer, Media and Retail
