PRIVATE EQUITY

Carlyle CEO Kewsong Lee steps down in abrupt early departure

PUBLISHED MON, AUG 8 20228:56 AM EDT

Private equity firm Carlyle Group Inc said on Sunday that Chief Executive Kewsong Lee, 56, has stepped down with immediate effect months before the scheduled end of his five-year contract.

Carlyle said in a statement it and Lee mutually agreed his contract which was due to finish at the end of 2022 would not be renewed, without disclosing their reasons. The firm, which reported earnings two weeks ago without flagging potential leadership changes, said Lee had also stepped down as a board member.

Co-founder Bill Conway will serve as interim CEO while the search for a new candidate takes place, the company said.

Lee, who turns 57 this week, could not immediately be reached for comment. His departure comes 18 months after Carlyle announced a strategic plan to accelerate growth and increase shareholder value.

The CEO search will be undertaken “with a sense of urgency”, Conway said in a separate memo to global staff on Sunday that was reviewed by Reuters, adding the firm must continue to execute its business plan.

Conway also said in the memo that the firm had set up a CEO office consisting of key senior leaders, with whom he would work closely.

The senior leaders include Carlyle’s Chief Operating Officer Chris Finn, who has delayed his previously announced end-2022 retirement to help with the transition.

A spokeswoman for Carlyle declined to comment on the memo. Conway declined to comment further beyond the announcement.

Lee’s departure comes as private equity firms face a challenging macroeconomic and investment environment fraught with geopolitical risks and sharply rising interest rates.

The firm performed better than its peers in the latest earnings. Its corporate private-equity funds were flat during the second quarter, while real estate and credit funds gained 4% and 2% respectively.

By contrast, Blackstone Inc and KKR & Co reported a 6.7% and 7% depreciation in their private-equity portfolio respectively. read more

Carlyle’s share price growth has, however, lagged in the last five years. Blackstone’s shares have shot up more than three times since August 2017 while Carlyle’s has grown about 80%.

A fresh inquiry into the death of Ashley Haynes, a close associate of Bill Clinton's advisor Mark Middleton, has created a furor on social media.

It is noteworthy that Ashley Haynes was found drowned in Arkansas River with an extension- chord tied to her ankle and attached to a concrete block in January. A few months after former US President Bill Clinton's moneyman Mark Middleton's body was found hanging from a tree with an electrical-chord around his neck and had a shotgun blast through his chest.

A forensic expert having come across some photographs of Haynes from the death scene stated that there was something that did not feel right. He also pointed towards some stark similarities in Haynes and Middleton's death stating that he can't rule out the "foul play".

Chords, a Common Object that Caused the Deaths

A faction of Clinton's detractors strongly believe that both the deaths are directly related to the dark secrets that Haynes and Middleton knew about the former president. "Chords" have emerged as a common object used to kill both Haynes and Middleton and this can't be dubbed as a co-incidence for it seems like well thought of and "planned" murders, added Clinton's detractors.

A report published by Radaronline stated that a renowned pathologist Dr. Cyril Wecht reached the shocking conclusion after reviewing exclusively obtained documents and shocking crime scene photographs of the 47-year-old model, who was once seen by a witness meeting Middleton to discuss a financial matter.

Dr. Wecht further stated that it's incumbent upon the police to investigate how she ended up under 10 feet of water in the Little Rock suburb of Maumelle, where she lived, the report stated further.

A Twitter user while expressing his views stated, " Also, Ashley Haynes which was seen with Mark Middleton and was a Clinton associate washed ashore and the death was deemed as suicide. I mean come on.. there has to be some legit and honest people working for the FBI still that can start leaking some things to the public."

The FOB List grows!

"Mark Middleton and Ashley Haynes are part of a growing list of corpses linked to the Clintons and Jeffrey Epstein, who was found hanging inside his New York jail cell in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges," read another tweet.

No one is tweeting about the two "suicides" of people close to the Clintons and the Epstein affair. Look them up. Ashley Haynes and Mark Middleton. Both found with extension cords around their necks. The Clinton Body Count increases.
