KKR To Appoint Katie Sudol As General Counsel; David Sorkin To Become Chief Legal Officer
NEW YORK, July 7, 2022, KKR & Co. Inc. (NYSE: KKR) today announced the appointment of Kathryn King Sudol as General Counsel of KKR. She will succeed David Sorkin who

will become an Advisory Partner of KKR.
Ms. Sudol joins from Simpson Thacher & Bartlett LLP (“STB”), where she is currently Global Co-Head of Mergers and Acquisitions. She is one of the world’s leading
corporate, M&A, and private equity lawyers, and has been a trusted advisor to corporate and private equity clients across a diverse range of industries in a variety of complex and high-profile transactions. During her 24-year career at STB,
Ms. Sudol held numerous leadership roles, including as a longtime member of the firm’s Executive Committee and as head of the firm’s M&A practice in Asia from 2010 through 2018.
Commenting on the appointment, Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR, said: “Katie has worked very closely with KKR and members of our senior team
both in the U.S. and internationally for many, many years. She is a preeminent lawyer and a dynamic leader who is a perfect fit with KKR’s culture. We are delighted that she has decided to join KKR, and we are excited to work with her as a
strategic partner for years to come in achieving our growth objectives.”
They added, “A colleague, friend, and trusted and strategic advisor, David has been instrumental in building KKR into the institution it is today. Among his many
accomplishments over his fifteen years as General Counsel, David steered us forward as we became a public company, helped drive our growth into new businesses and regions, and built the strong legal and compliance teams, as well as internal audit
and enterprise risk teams, that support every aspect of our business around the world. We look forward to continuing our longtime partnership with him in his next chapter at KKR.”
