David J Sorkin of KKR & Co (Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co)

After forging a reputation as one of the country’s finest dealmakers in a distinguished career at Simpson Thacher, David Sorkin was appointed as KKR’s first general counsel in 2007. His arrival at KKR, a firm he counted among his clients in private practice, came as it geared up for its highly anticipated public offering, which was eventually completed in 2010. His tenure at the helm of the legal department has seen him continue to put his transactional capabilities to good use, with 2018 seeing the firm complete over 200 deals and boast almost USD200 billion in assets under management.

Outside of his day-to-day role, Sorkin also serves as the president of the board of directors for New Alternatives for Children, an organization that provides support for families of chronically ill or disabled children.
