Warburg Pincus Appoints Jeffrey Perlman as CEO, will replace Chip Kaye

Warburg Pincus has appointed longtime insider Jeffrey Perlman as its new Chief Executive Officer, marking only the third generation of leadership in the private equity firm’s nearly 60-year history. He will replace long-standing CEO Chip Kaye on September 2.

The appointment comes as private equity firms in Asia are adjusting their investment strategies and country allocations due to geopolitical tensions and macroeconomic challenges.

Jeffrey was named as president of Warburg Pincus in 2023. Before joining Warburg Pincus in 2006, Perlman worked in the real estate investment group at Credit Suisse.
