“Cultural Fluency” and Broad Network

With offices in London and Paris, KKR Europe has built a 30-person multilingual, multicultural team. Our investment professionals have a wide range of operational and financial experience, represent 14 different nationalities and collectively speak 13 languages, including all of the national languages of the key western European markets. Capstone Europe consultants have a similar diversity of nationalities and language skills.

We are distinctive in that we draw not only on our significant “cultural fluency,” but also on the strength of the KKR global infrastructure. That means, where appropriate, transactions are staffed with executives across our offices in order to tap industry-specific expertise throughout the firm.

KKR’s global network of relationships and contacts – CEOs of the largest companies, political leaders, co-investors and advisory institutions – is without equal in the private equity industry. We have direct relationships with approximately two-thirds of both the Fortune 500 and Global 500 companies. This network provides access to exclusive investment opportunities, valuable sources of knowledge during due diligence and significant resources when building and exiting our portfolio companies.
