We are proud to announce that Jeffrey Perlman will become CEO of Warburg Pincus in September. Jeff, who was named President of the firm last year, succeeds Chip Kaye, who will become Chairman alongside Timothy Geithner, the 75th Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Treasury. This appointment represents only the third generation of leadership for the firm in its nearly 60-year history. Jeff joined Warburg Pincus nearly 18 years ago. Over the course of his career, he significantly expanded the franchise in Asia, including opening the firm's Singapore office in 2016, overseeing its private equity investing activities in Southeast Asia, and building out the firm’s real estate business across the Asia-Pacific region. Jeff has also co-founded several leading real estate companies in Asia and currently serves or has previously served on the Boards of Directors for numerous leading companies including BW Industrial Development JSC, MoMo (M_Service), StorHub Self Storage, Princeton Digital Group, and ESR Group. In addition, Jeff is the Chairman of the Board of Directors for the US-ASEAN Business Council, which works to create trade and investment opportunities in Southeast Asia. Chip joined Warburg Pincus in 1986 and served as CEO for over two decades. Chip led Warburg Pincus’ entry into Asia in 1994, driving the growth of one of the first global private equity firms to enter the region with early offices in China and India. Over the course of his tenure, Warburg Pincus private equity funds generated over $100 billion in fund profits. Please join us in congratulating Jeff on this well-deserved appointment and thanking Chip for his continued impact and dedication to Warburg Pincus.
