Heureusement que j'ai des copains qui me font suivre les news dans les périodes où je n'ai le temps de rien, parce que ce serait dommage de passer à côté de certaines d'entre elles.
En voilà une du genre à vous faire dresser les cheveux sur la tête.

The Carlyle Group Names Olivier Sarkozy Co-head of Global Financial Services Group
Washington, DC – Global private equity firm The Carlyle Group today named Olivier Sarkozy Co-head and Managing Director of Carlyle’s Global Financial Services Group. Mr. Sarkozy joins Carlyle from UBS, where he is Joint Global Head of FIG Investment Banking. He will be based in New York and begin his duties in April 2008.
David M. Rubenstein, Co-founder and Managing Director of Carlyle, said, “Olivier is a remarkable addition to our financial services team. He has an incredible track record and network that will help Carlyle capitalize on the dislocation in the financial services sector and extend our record of success to this important and growing part of the global economy.”
Mr. Sarkozy said, “This is a unique opportunity to work with a top tier investment firm as it establishes a new global practice. Carlyle’s global footprint and track record of success bode well for the remarkable team that has already been assembled. I look forward to working with Dave Zwiener and the team to make a mark for Carlyle in the increasingly important financial services investment sector. I leave UBS with great sadness and wish the FIG team continued success. I will continue to work with UBS in an advisory capacity and welcome UBS’s support of Carlyle’s financial services investment efforts.”
In recent years, Mr. Sarkozy has worked on numerous prominent banking transactions, including:
* MBNA sale to Bank of America
* US Trust sale to Bank of America
* Mellon merger of equals with The Bank of New York

* Schwab’s leveraged recapitalization
* Sallie Mae’s $3 billion recapitalization
* CIBC’s $1.5 billion private placement of common stock and concurrent $1.4 billion public sale of common equity
In June 2007, Carlyle established its Global Financial Services Group, which now has nine investment professionals, including Co-head and Managing Director David K. Zwiener, former President and Chief Operating Officer of The Hartford Financial Services Group, Inc.’s property and casualty operations; Managing Director Randal K. Quarles, former Under Secretary of the U.S. Treasury for Domestic Finance; and Managing Director David M. Moffett, former Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of U.S. Bancorp.
