LEGG MASON APPOINTS PETER H. NACHTWEY AS CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER
BALTIMORE December 13, 2010 Legg Mason Inc., (NYSE:LM) today announced the appointment of Peter Pete H. Nachtwey as Chief Financial Officer and a member of its Executive Committee. He will report to Mark R. Fetting, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. He joins the firm from The Carlyle Group, where he was Chief Financial Officer and a member of their Operating Committee.
Mark R. Fetting said, Petes deep knowledge of the investment management industry and his broad expertise across all aspects of financial management: corporate, fund, portfolio company and deal, will be invaluable as we grow our business and invest in both our affiliates and opportunities globally. I would also like to thank Terrence Murphy for his outstanding contribution and for taking time away from our largest equity affiliate. I know the team at ClearBridge Advisors is ready to welcome him back.
Pete Nachtwey said, I am excited to join one of the worlds largest asset managers and a well-respected finance team. Legg Masons investment affiliates are known as some of the best managers in their investment disciplines and I look forward to partnering with each of them to grow their franchises. At the right time, I am also ready to help expand Legg Masons investment capabilities through targeted acquisitions.
From 2007-2010, Mr. Nachtwey was Chief Financial Officer at The Carlyle Group, where he had responsibility for all of the financial and a number of the operational functions at the firm. As CFO of one of the worlds largest alternative investment managers, he had broad oversight of structuring, reporting and budgeting for over $90 billion in private equity and credit alternatives investments in over 70 discrete fund investment vehicles. Prior to The Carlyle Group, he spent more than 25 years in increasing leadership positions at Deloitte and Touche LLP, most recently as Managing Partner of the first fully integrated Investment Management practice of the Big Four, dedicated solely to serving mutual fund complexes, private equity firms and hedge funds. He graduated magna cum laude from Syracuse University with a BS in Accounting in 1978.
