Scoop: Carlyle reorganizes corporate affairs, puts Meg Starr in charge

Per the memo, from Carlyle CEO Harvey Schwartz:

"Reporting to the COO Christopher Finn, Meg will bring together the individual strengths of our Corporate Communications, Government Affairs, and Sustainability functions to ensure a coherent and coordinated global message and strategy. This is an important enhancement to our organizational design, which will give us significant leverage across our various constituents. Meg's leadership will be essential in aligning these functions to act as a unified enabler of firmwide growth and performance."
