KKR Commits to Hire 250,000 Veterans and Military Spouses Across Its Portfolio in Recognition of America’s 250th Anniversary

Joe Bae and Scott Nuttall, Co-Chief Executive Officers of KKR

“At KKR, we are constantly looking for ways to help good companies become great ones, and recruiting and retaining the right talent is fundamental to that. We have seen firsthand the tremendous value and impact that veterans and military spouses can bring to businesses through their leadership skills, discipline, adaptability and commitment to a team-first mindset. As America celebrates its 250th anniversary and Veterans Day, we are proud to make a significant new pledge to create opportunities for veterans and military spouses across KKR and our portfolio companies.”

David Petraeus, KKR Partner and Chairman of the KKR Global Institute

“One of the most meaningful ways to honor those who have served and military families is to create opportunities for them to put their extraordinary talents to good use in the private sector. For many service members, leaving the military means navigating an entirely new professional landscape and figuring out how years of experience translate into a civilian career. Vets@Work is about opening doors to rewarding opportunities across our portfolio and helping companies identify and recruit these extraordinary individuals.”

Natalie Jobst, Senior HR Manager for Military and Veteran Channels at Global Medical Response

“Veterans bring an incredible range of skills to the workforce, from leadership and adaptability to project management. At Global Medical Response, our focus is not just on hiring veterans and military spouses, but on creating meaningful opportunities for long-term career growth and advancement. As a military spouse myself for more than 20 years, I know firsthand how often military spouses are overqualified yet underemployed. We see tremendous opportunity to recognize this talent, invest in their development and build lasting careers.”
