“A few weeks ago, I informed the senior management of la Caisse that, having fulfilled the mandate I was given when I first arrived, I was now hoping to take on new challenges to be able, among other things, to spend more time with my family in New York,” said Beroutsos in a news release.

“I am leaving proud of the work accomplished and convinced that la Caisse has what it takes to continue to execute its international strategy with the high-quality private equity team we have built.”

“I would like to thank Andreas for the very important contribution he made these past two years,” said Michael Sabia, president and chief executive officer of Caisse. “In a very short time, he fully rose to the challenge that I had put to him: build a highly talented team and distinctively reposition our international private equity strategy, while generating solid returns.

“With the networks that he and his team developed worldwide, I believe we have a strong foundation for the future.”
