Former Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner will join private-equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC next year after 26 years in public service, the company said.
Geithner will become president at the New York-based buyout firm starting March 1, according to a statement today from Warburg Pincus. He will work with Chip Kaye and Joe Landy, who have led the firm since 2000 and this year began sharing the title of co-chief executive officer, in managing the firm, investing its funds and communicating with investors.
“He brings a history of strong leadership, a deep understanding of economies and markets, and a truly global perspective,” Kaye said of Geithner in the statement. “These attributes will be of tremendous value to our firm in this increasingly interconnected world.”
