弗里德曼或將重任納斯達克掌門 曾助力凱雷IPO
|
????阿德納?弗里德曼正在重返納斯達克OMX集團（NASDAQ OMX）。三年前，她從首席財務官的職位上離職，擔任私募股權公司凱雷投資集團（The Carlyle Group）的首席財務官。如今，她的新職位將是全球企業(yè)、信息和科技業(yè)務總裁。 ????任職凱雷投資期間，弗里德曼在2012年公司首次公開募股中發(fā)揮了重大作用。不出所料，凱雷選擇在納斯達克上市。 ????眼下這步棋對弗里德曼完全合情合理。它基本上讓她參與到了最終執(zhí)掌納斯達克的競爭之中，而她競爭凱雷接班人幾乎是不可能的（格倫?楊金和新聘的麥克?卡瓦納顯然被視為接班人）。而且，她再次掌管業(yè)務集團運營，這也正是她在納斯達克最終擔任CFO前掌管的事務。 ????盡管如此，讀到這篇公告，我仍大感意外。畢竟，僅僅六周之前，凱雷宣布了一項針對弗里德曼、卡瓦納和楊金的激勵計劃。設計這項計劃的目的顯然是為了讓他們共同進退。 ????“坦率說，金錢不是推動我選擇另外一份工作的動力，”弗里德曼在周一早晨的簡短電話通話中表示。“我做決定的依據(jù)是，什么能讓我在未來十年真正感到興奮。” ????她補充說，正式的聘用函是上周三納斯達克董事會之后發(fā)出的。 ????我還問弗里德曼，她是否把這個職位視為是走上納斯達克更高職位的踏板，因為凱雷對于她離職發(fā)布的聲明中有這樣的暗示（納斯達克CEO鮑勃?格雷菲爾德的合約2017年底到期）。而她的回答是：“我來擔任聯(lián)席總裁，我必須在這個職位上證明自己。” ????另外有一條相關的消息，凱雷稱，公司首席會計官柯特?巴瑟將擔任臨時CFO。(財富中文網(wǎng)) |
????Adena Friedman is returning to NASDAQ OMX Group Inc. (NDAQ), three years after stepping down as chief financial offer to take on the CFO role at private equity firm The Carlyle Group (CG). Her new role will be as president of global corporate, information and tech solutions business. ????While with Carlyle, Friedman was instrumental in the company's 2012 initial public offering. Not surprisingly, the firm listed on NASDAQ. ????This move makes all sorts of sense for Friedman. It basically puts her in the running to eventually run the show at NASDAQ, which probably wasn't in in the cards at Carlyle (where Glenn Youngkin and new hire Mike Cavanaugh are seen as heirs apparent). Plus, she again gets to run business groups – something she did at Nasdaq before eventually switching to the CFO position. ????That said, I was quite surprised to read the announcement. After all, it was just six weeks agothat Carlyle announced a new incentive program for three senior executives – Friedman, Cavanaugh and Youngkin – that was explicitly designed to keep them in the fold. ????"Honestly, money isn't what drives me to do one job over another," Friedman explained this morning, during a brief phone call. "I make those decisions based on what will make me really excited about the next 10 years." ????She adds that the formal job offer came following as NASDAQ board meeting last Wednesday. ????I also asked Friedman if she viewed this as a stepping stone to an even high position within NASDAQ, given that Carlyle's statement about her departure suggested as much (NASDAQ CEO Bob Greifeld's contract runs through 2017). All she would say about that was: "I'm coming in to be co-president and I must prove myself in that role." ????In related news, Carlyle said that chief accounting officer Curt Buser would serve as interim CFO. |
