I've decided to run a series of profiles of the people who run the private equity firm KKR. Each of these investors has an extraoridnary story. I've talked about Henry Kravis. Today, I'll profile KKR Financial Holder Director Scott Nuttall.
Running a multi-billion dollar firm is not an easy task. To run it for as long as three decades requires hard work and a whole lot of business smarts. Kohlberg, Kravis, Roberts & Co is a company that has been running smoothly for over three decades now. Its founding partners have worked very hard since they started operations in 1976 to take the firm to where it is now. Pioneering the process of leverage buyouts, the KKR team has continually found success in every venture and company that they enter deals with.
The constant additions of young minds ensure the continuous success that the firm is experiencing. One of the top directors for the firm is Scott Nuttall. Fresh and still very young, Scott Nuttall is one of the leaders primed to take over the firm if ever the founders decide to step down from their respective posts.
Scott Nuttall is the one of the youngest members of KKR’s so-called “next generation”. He has been with the firm for 10 years already and first served as a member of the board of Willis, an insurance broker, while it was owned by KKR. Currently, his main task is as a member of the General Partner, Head of the Financial Services Industry Team of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. He also oversees the Global Capital and Asset Management Group and played a significant role in investments such as that of Alea Group Holdings, Amphenol, Walter Industries, and Willis Group. Aside from these, he is also affiliated with the firm’s funds, specifically the KKR Private Equity Investors and KKR Financial Holdings. Scott Nuttall also oversees the combined capital raising, distribution, and broker-dealer efforts for the firm. Likewise, he acts as the Secretary and Treasurer of KKR BDC Inc.
A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, Scott Nuttall graduated with Summa Cum Laude honors.
Scott Nuttall and other brilliant young minds like him at KKR serves as an assurance that the future of the firm will continue to look bright.
