CVC Capital Partners welcomes a powerhouse executive to its board!
CVC Capital Partners plc is thrilled to announce the appointment of Catherine Keating as a Non-Executive Director, effective from the start of 2026. This move is set to make waves in the industry.
But who is Catherine Keating? Well, she's a financial powerhouse! With a wealth of experience, Catherine most recently headed the Global Wealth Management division at The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation (BNY), overseeing a staggering $300 billion in assets for clients globally. Impressive, right?
Here's the part that caught our attention: CVC is strategically bringing Catherine on board to leverage her expertise in Private Wealth and Asset Management. As CVC continues its market dominance in Private Equity, Credit, Secondaries, and Infrastructure, Catherine's insights will be invaluable in driving growth in these interconnected sectors.
Rolly van Rappard, Chair of CVC Capital Partners plc, expressed his enthusiasm, emphasizing Catherine's ability to contribute to their growth strategy. And this is where it gets interesting—Catherine's role at BNY was just the tip of the iceberg.
Beyond her leadership at BNY, Catherine held influential positions. She was a key member of the Executive Committee and the CEO of Bank of New York Mellon, N.A., the national bank subsidiary. Talk about a dynamic career!
Upon joining CVC, Catherine will serve as an independent Non-Executive Director, contributing to Audit, Nomination, and Remuneration Committees. Notably, she will chair the Risk Committee, a critical role in any organization.
Catherine's influence extends further. She is an Independent Director at The Guardian Life Insurance Company of America and serves on various prestigious boards and committees, including the University of Virginia Law School Foundation and the Helmsley Charitable Trust.
CVC's decision to bring Catherine on board aligns with their growing focus on Private Wealth and Insurance, with significant growth in these sectors already evident.
But here's where it gets controversial: Is CVC's move a sign of a shifting industry landscape, or simply a strategic hire?
