Carlyle Hires UBS’s Sarkozy for Financial Deals

March 3, 2008, 8:10 am

The Carlyle Group, the private equity firm, said Monday that it had hired Oliver Sarkozy, one of UBS’s top investment bankers for financial services deals, to work as co-head of a similar practice.
Mr. Sarkozy, the joint global head of UBS’s financial institutions group (and half-brother to French president Nicolas Sarkozy), will join Carlyle in April and will remain based in New York.

His group will search for investment opportunities amid today’s global banking and credit crisis.
“Olivier is a remarkable addition to our financial services team,”

David Rubenstein, a Carlyle co-founder and managing director, said in a statement. “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.”
Before UBS, Mr. Sarkozy worked at Credit Suisse. Some of the deals he has worked on over the past year include ABN Amro’s sale of LaSalle Bank to Bank of America and Sallie Mae’s attempt to sell itself to a group of investors.
