A WORLD-LEADING PRIVATE INVESTMENT COMPANY
ABOUT US
WHAT WE DO
Disciplined Due Diligence
Our investment approach is based on a disciplined due diligence process that measures risk while identifying the catalysts for increased value. We engage only in friendly transactions and work with talented management teams to achieve positive results.
Transformative Impact
We strive to create value by investing in great businesses where our capital, strategic insight, global relationships and operational support can drive transformation.
Staying Power
When we partner with a business, we focus on building it to last. Our staying power, drawn from the scale and breadth of the platform we’ve grown over years, helps our companies withstand market cycles and succeed for the long term.
OUR COMPANY
We strive to attract, develop, retain, and promote the best possible talent – women and men of all ethnicities and sexual orientations. We believe a team comprised more fully of individuals with diverse backgrounds, experiences, perspectives, and insights will make us a stronger and more effective organization.
We are self-starters with a willingness to take prudent risks and find creative solutions to our stakeholders’ needs. We work passionately to retain the entrepreneurial spirit that created our firm and to fight against organizational politics and bureaucracy.
OUR VALUES
Integrity
We conduct ourselves with integrity in everything we do. Our reputation as individuals and as a firm is paramount. Our word is our bond “we say what we mean and we do what we say.” As a learning organization, we are self-critical acknowledging our mistakes and trying always to learn from them.
Accountability
We readily accept accountability for our actions, inactions and decisions, both individually and as a firm. We also embrace the implied responsibilities of our one firm approach: the obligation to speak up and say what we think and to respect and listen to our colleagues. We have the institutional and personal fortitude to say “no,” even at the eleventh hour. We deliver on our commitments — to our stakeholders, our partners, and one another.
Teamwork
Teamwork is at the heart of how we operate. We take enormous pride in our one-firm approach, operating proactively and collaboratively across businesses and geographies to achieve the best possible results. We continually look to help one another and work together towards common goals. We know from experience that we can achieve much more collectively than any of us could individually. In keeping with this approach, every employee at the firm has an equity interest in KKR and shares in our success.
