Lindsay LoBue has been named Carlyle’s COO, effective July 1, following Chris Finn’s retirement after nearly 30 years with the firm. Finn will become a senior advisor to the $426 billion global investment firm after June 30.

LoBue has been Carlyle’s deputy COO since October 2023, playing an active role in leading organizational and functional efforts to drive long-term growth at the firm.

Prior to joining Carlyle last October, LoBue spent over 20 years at Goldman Sachs, most recently as an advisory director working across global divisions on strategic growth initiatives.

LoBue was also a partner in the global markets division, responsible for leading and managing client-facing businesses in a variety of areas, including managing the firm’s credit products group and investment grade corporate bond sales team.

“In her new role, Lindsay will be an important part of my executive team as we execute Carlyle’s strategic priorities,” said CEO Harvey Schwartz. “This appointment reflects Lindsay’s exceptional leadership qualities and the confidence we have in her ability to help guide our firm towards a prosperous future.”

Schwartz became CEO just over a year ago, having previously worked at Goldman Sachs. Jeff Nedelman, Carlyle’s new head of global distribution, is another recent major hire. In October 2023, he joined the team from Certares.
