-Private equity firm Carlyle Group Inc on Monday appointed former Goldman Sachs Inc finance head Harvey Schwartz as its chief executive officer, effective Feb. 15.
Schwartz will replace Bill Conway, the co-founder of Carlyle, who has been serving as the company’s interim CEO since August.
The appointment comes months after the sudden departure of Kewsong Lee, the former CEO of Carlyle. Lee left the firm last August after a clash with the company’s board over a new contract, a person familiar with the matter told Reuters.
