KKR recruits fundraiser for Australia, New Zealand

Based in Sydney, Hyde will work across the firm’s private and public markets strategies. He will work closely with the likes of Scott Bookmyer, KKR’s Australia head, and Diane Raposio, who leads the client and partner group in Asia Pacific, according to a statement.

Hyde spent more than three-and-a-half years as a director at IFM, where he was responsible for leading new business development and institutional accounts in Australia, New Zealand, and Asia. He covered private equity, infrastructure, debt and alternatives. Prior to IFM, he worked for Wellington Management for more than six years as a managing director for institutional business development.

KKR is currently in fundraising for several Asia-focused strategies. On the private equity side, the firm is targeting $12.5 billion for its fourth flagship pan-regional fund. Last year, it emerged that KKR also plans to raise a growth-stage technology vehicle focused on Asia, expanding a strategy that is already operational in North America, Europe, and Israel.

Other recent hires by the firm in Australia include Ben Hall as head of credit for the country and Andrew Jennings, a managing director who leads local infrastructure investment operations.
