In Asia Pacific, KKR has ~600 executives working across business functions and asset classes with offices in Beijing, Gurugram, Hong Kong, Mumbai, Seoul, Shanghai, Singapore, Sydney, and Tokyo. While nearly all executives are local to their market - and are adept at proprietary sourcing, relationship building, and best practices considerations within their markets - each executive works closely with KKR's team worldwide to leverage the firm's experience and expertise.

KKR has a very collaborative culture where an individual's success is the result of good skills and acumen in the role and ability to leverage the whole firm. They think in terms of "we", not "I" and we know we are better together than one single person - no matter how skilled that person is. "One Firm," collaboration, operating with "like and trust" are core to how KKR operates. The person who joins in this role is joining a Capstone team but also a team of ~4,600 people across the firm and we all work together to support each other in delivering the best of KKR to our companies and clients. They are all on the same team. They operate with one P&L where most places have silos. It's not for everyone but their one team mindset keeps KKR special and enables them to achieve great things for their clients.
