About

The Carlyle Group is now the largest private equity firm in Asia, and general counsel Wayne Bannon became managing director in 2012, the same year the company became publicly listed. ‘The breadth of Wayne’s portfolio – not just in business lines but also in geography – is astounding,’ says Andrew Ostrognai of Debevoise & Plimpton LLP. ‘But he handles it all with efficiency, a calm manner, intelligence and remarkable good humour’.
