Karen Ndegwa is a proud Kenyan-American and Vice President at The Carlyle Group, heading up the US CLO Compliance function. The function is responsible for maintaining the protections built into the Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO) structure to ensure the funds are investing in eligible investments. Before accomplishing this critical and high impact position, Karen left Kenya for the U.S., after graduating college, with only $500 and a suitcase.
Her professional journey is nothing but spectacular. She started her career as an Insurance Agent and climbed her way into finance working for companies like US Bank and Brigade Capital Management L.P. before landing at The Carlyle Group.
