Thomas Mayrhofer Named Chief Financial Officer
and Treasurer, Effective by Q2 2024
Jacky Wu to Continue to Serve as Chief
Financial Officer Through Transition Period
DigitalBridge Group, Inc. (NYSE: DBRG) (“DigitalBridge” or the
“Company”) today announced an agreement with Thomas Mayrhofer to
serve as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer,
effective by the second quarter of 2024. He will succeed Jacky Wu,
who will continue in his role through the Company’s 2023 reporting
cycle. Mr. Mayrhofer will join DigitalBridge on January 8, 2024,
and work with Mr. Wu and the DigitalBridge team during the first
quarter of 2024 to ensure a smooth transition and complete the
Company’s previously disclosed succession process.
Mr. Mayrhofer brings more than two decades of robust financial
and operational experience across the asset management industry. He
spent nearly 18 years at The Carlyle Group in a variety of
financial roles across all of the firm's products—including private
equity, energy, real estate and credit. He concluded his tenure at
Carlyle as a Partner and CFO of the firm’s Private Equity business,
where he led a team of more than 90 finance professionals and had
oversight of approximately $100 billion of assets under management.
Following Carlyle, he served as CFO and, subsequently, Chief
Operating Officer at alternative asset manager EJF Capital, where
he was responsible for the firm’s financial, operational,
technology, and legal functions.
“Tom is a talented executive with an impressive track record of
financial leadership at major asset management firms, and I am
delighted to welcome him to our team,” said Marc Ganzi, Chief
Executive Officer of DigitalBridge. “Tom’s skillset and background
are an ideal fit with DigitalBridge as we complete our transition
to a pure-play alternative asset manager and continue growing an
investment management platform built to meet the remarkable demand
for digital infrastructure on a global basis.”
Mr. Ganzi continued, “I also want to thank Jacky publicly for
his partnership and the tremendous role he has played in executing
DigitalBridge’s successful transformation over the past four years.
Jacky is a leader, role model and friend to all of us at
DigitalBridge, and we are grateful for his ongoing support.”
“I am honored to join Marc and the DigitalBridge team at this
exciting time,” said Mr. Mayrhofer. “DigitalBridge’s position as
the leading alternative asset manager serving the fast-growing
digital infrastructure sector is a testament to the strength of its
people and strategy, and I look forward to working closely with
Jacky and the rest of the team over the coming months as we
continue to reinforce our position as the partner of choice in the
digital infrastructure space.”
“We have made amazing strides over the last four years, and I am
tremendously proud of helping to lead a great team and firm through
an important transformation,” said Mr. Wu. “Tom is a thoughtful and
experienced leader, and I am confident he is the right person to
assume this role as DigitalBridge enters its next chapter of
growth.”
Nancy Curtin, Chair of the Company’s Board of Directors, added,
“The DigitalBridge Board would like to thank Jacky for his
incredible service to the firm and wish him the best in his future
endeavors. We also extend a warm welcome to Tom and very much look
forward to working with him on continuing to build the premier
investment management platform focused on digital
infrastructure.”
