New Leadership Lineup Unveiled by Carlyle for the Year 2026
In a significant move, the Carlyle Group, a leading global investment firm, has announced a major leadership restructuring, effective from January 1, 2026. The new structure aims to boost operational efficiency, innovation capacity, and market expansion by consolidating internal expertise across private equity, credit, and client relationships.
Harvey Schwartz, CEO of Carlyle, expressed his excitement about the changes, looking forward to partnering closely with Justin Plouffe, Admiral James Stavridis, and Lindsay LoBue, the Chief Operating Officer, to execute the company's strategy and deliver significant value to its investors and stakeholders around the world.
The appointments of Justin Plouffe and Admiral James Stavridis reflect Carlyle's continued evolution and commitment to delivering exceptional results for its clients. Admiral James Stavridis (Ret.) will take on an expanded role as Vice Chairman at Carlyle, focusing on advancing the firm's strategic initiatives and engaging on global investment and geopolitical matters. Justin Plouffe will become the Chief Financial Officer of Carlyle Global Credit, effective January 1, 2026.
The new co-presidents at Carlyle—John Redett, Mark Jenkins, and Jeff Nedelman—each have distinct backgrounds and investment focuses aligned with Carlyle’s key business areas. John Redett, who comes from a financial leadership role, having served as Carlyle’s CFO before transitioning to co-president, will lead Carlyle’s global private equity business. His emphasis will be on the evolution of secondaries into a corporate finance-oriented strategy, leveraging deep firm-specific expertise and a focus on innovation in private equity operations.
Mark Jenkins, who oversees the global credit and insurance businesses at Carlyle, will focus on expanding the firm’s credit platform, integrating technology, and managing macroeconomic risks related to these sectors. Jeff Nedelman, responsible for the client business, will concentrate on client retention and cross-sector synergies, leveraging decades of experience to strengthen Carlyle’s relationships with investors and improve operational agility in client services.
The appointments are intended to drive Carlyle's next phase of growth. The strategic move is expected to position the firm for continued success in the rapidly evolving global investment landscape. John Redett will remain CFO of Carlyle until the end of 2025 to ensure a smooth transition.
This leadership restructuring is part of Carlyle's ongoing commitment to delivering exceptional results for its clients, reflecting its continued evolution and growth in the global investment market.
