Private Equity Firm Using Employee Ownership in its Acquisitions

Feb 21, 2023 | Timothy L. Stewart

It is not clear from the video whether KKR is using an ESOP to confer employee ownership, or some other vehicle. But it is a trend that certainly seems to be working for both the Firm itself and the employees of its portfolio companies.
