KKR's CEO on the new rules of private equity (and the next big trends)

Scott Nuttall calls them KKR-isms. Inside what is probably the most iconic private equity firm in the world – the original barbarians at the gate – these are the little sayings that help define a culture. It's one that Nuttall, a 29-year veteran of the company and the co-chief executive of the global firm since October 2021, says is one of its great advantages. Some of the KKR-isms are a little folksy – it's not hard to picture phrases such as 'connect the dots' and 'use the whole brain' written on a motivational posters. And we're pretty sure another saying – 'treat people the way you want to be treated' – has been pinched from the Bible.
