From WSJ: David Petraeus, the former U.S. Army general who resigned
last year as Central Intelligence Agency chief over his running affair with a biographer/fan, is rebooting his career with
KKR & Co., the giant private-equity firm. KKR, known for large debt-fueled
corporate takeovers, hopes Mr. Petraeus’s experience and Rolodex will help the
firm seek and size up deals, said people familiar with the move. The former
general will be chairman of a new internal “institute” focused on macroeconomic
forecasts, communications, public policy and advice on investments in emerging
markets, they said. …
Ken Mehlman, a former Republican National Committee chairman
who now serves as KKR’s global head of public affairs, said Mr. Petraeus is
“someone who has served in an incredibly effective and in some ways heroic way…." Folks at KKR had better learn to give a sharp salute and keep their boots polished to a spit shine. Petraeus likes things done his way...or no way...
