KKR Appoints de Joussineau to Lead Europe Impact Investment
(Bloomberg) -- KKR & Co. appointed Stanislas de Joussineau to head its impact investments in Europe as the investment firm seeks to expand the geographic reach of the team.
De Joussineau will be responsible for developing the KKR Global Impact team’s activities in Europe and will serve on the firm’s global impact investment committee and portfolio management committee, according to a statement.
He has a decade-long tenure as a private equity dealmaker at KKR, most recently as part of its technology and retail groups in Europe and its France coverage team. De Joussineau, a director at the firm, is on the board of Webhelp and was involved in KKR’s investments in The Hut Group, Adocia and Visma.
KKR also appointed Sharon Yang as a senior investor with its impact investment team in Asia, it said in the statement. She has been with KKR since 2009 and has worked on strategy, operations and capital raising across private equity, growth equity and real estate in Asia. Yang will be supported by the Asian private equity team, according to the statement.
“This combination of KKR’s global strength and local market expertise is key to capturing the many opportunities we’re seeing for impact investments around the globe,” Robert Antablin and Ken Mehlman, the co-heads of KKR Global Impact, said in the statement. “These additions further underscore our commitment to growing KKR Global Impact in Europe and Asia.”
