Carlyle’s Rubenstein to Join Harvard Board of Trustees

David Rubenstein, co-chief executive officer of alternative-asset manager Carlyle Group LP, will join Harvard University’s board of trustees in July 2017. He will replace Nannerl Keohane, former president of Duke University and Wellesley College, when she steps down next year from the board known as Harvard Corp., the Cambridge, Massachusetts-based school said Wednesday in a statement.
Rubenstein, who co-founded Carlyle in 1987, is currently one of the chairmen of the university’s ongoing campaign to raise a record $6.5 billion, according to the statement. Carlyle, based in Washington, manages more than $170 billion in assets.
