Story summary

CVC, a European private-equity firm that went public in 2024, announced it will name Todd Sisitsky as co-CEO alongside Peter Rutland starting early 2028. Sisitsky, who has been president at TPG since 2021, is set to join CVC after his non-compete agreement expires. This move comes amid challenges for private-equity firms like CVC, which manage about $250 billion but have struggled with monetizing their investments recently. Sisitsky's expertise in healthcare buyouts and financial services will complement Rutland’s focus on insurance companies such as AIG and Standard Life, helping CVC balance its traditional strengths with newer ventures like credit and insurance.
