The Carlyle Group promotes Bagijn and Herberg

The Carlyle Group has promoted Ruulke Bagijn to head its investment solutions division and Erica Herberg to CFO of the same division.
The investment solutions division is one of Carlyle's four reporting business segments. It manages private equity and real estate portfolios through funds-of-funds, secondary purchases of existing portfolios and managed co-investment programmes.
In her new role, Bagijn will lead a group of two businesses wholly owned by Carlyle: AlpInvest Partners, which focuses on private equity investments ($43bn in assets under management (AUM)) and Metropolitan, which focuses on real estate investments ($2.4bn in AUM). Bagijn succeeds Lauren Dillard, who recently joined Nasdaq as head of global information services. Bagijn will also join the Carlyle management committee.
Bagijn is currently the co-head of AlpInvest's primary funds investment team and member of the AlpInvest investment committee. Prior to joining AlpInvest in 2017, Bagijn worked at Axa Investment Managers - Real Assets, where she was global head of real assets private equity and a member of its management board. Before Axa, Bagijn worked for PGGM, where she was co-CIO of investment management and CIO of private markets, and managed a €40bn portfolio of alternative investments.
Bagijn also leads the recently founded Amsterdam committee of Level 20.
Herberg will assume the CFO responsibilities of Paul de Klerk, CFO and chief operations officer of AlpInvest, who is moving to a senior adviser role to assist in the transition. De Klerk, who helped co-found AlpInvest in 1999, will remain on the AlpInvest board as a non-executive member and support Carlyle in other areas of the organisation as needed.
Herberg, has been CFO and managing director of the global credit segment since 2015, while being based in New York. From 2011-2015, Herberg was responsible for the fund management operations of Carlyle's Europe-based private equity funds, based in Luxembourg and London. Prior to this role, Herberg led the real assets partnership accounting team from Washington, DC. Before joining Carlyle in 1999, Herberg was an auditor with KPMG.
In her new role, Bagijn will divide her time mainly between New York and Amsterdam, while Herberg will be based in Amsterdam.
