Change in Private Equity management at la Caisse

unknown

Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec announced today that Andreas Beroutsos has decided to step down as Executive Vice-President, Private Equity and Infrastructure. “I would like to thank Andreas for the very important contribution he made these past two years. In a very short time, he fully rose to the challenge that I had put to him: build a highly talented team and distinctively reposition our international private equity strategy, while generating solid returns. With the networks that he and his team developed worldwide, I believe we have a strong foundation for the future,” said Michael Sabia, President and Chief Executive Officer of la Caisse. “A few weeks ago, I informed the senior management of la Caisse that, having fulfilled the mandate I was given when I first arrived, I was now hoping to take on new challenges to be able, among other things, to spend more time with my family in New York. I am leaving proud of the work accomplished and convinced that la Caisse has what it takes to continue to execute its international strategy with the high-quality Private Equity team we have built,” said Andreas Beroutsos. Mr. Beroutsos will stay on at la Caisse for a few months to ensure an orderly transition and will continue to represent la Caisse on certain boards of directors.
