KKR appointed Jacques Veyrat senior advisor for KKR’s investment activities in France. He will work closely with Henry Kravis, Johannes Huth and the wider EMEA leadership team on the development of KKR’s French platform.
Veyrat has experience across a range of different sectors. He currently manages his own diversified investment company, Impala SAS, and previously served as chairman and CEO of both merchant and commodity company Louis Dreyfus Group and telecoms company Neuf Cegetel.
“I am delighted that KKR will be able to benefit from Jacques’ expertise and strategic counsel in France,” Huth said. “France is an important market for KKR, and we see significant opportunities across a number of sectors. Jacques will bring valuable insights and local knowledge as we further develop our presence and activities in France.”
