Carlyle Group today named David McCann managing director in Toronto, interim global head of investor relations, effective immediately. McCann succeeds Nathan Urquhart, who has decided to pursue other professional interests after a nearly four-year run.
Urquhart has agreed to stay on through the end of the year to ensure a smooth transition.
McCann joined Carlyle in 2014 from Credit Suisse Securities (Canada), where he was head of asset management distribution.
Interim CEO Bill Conway called McCann a seasoned and well-respected IR professional who has “cultivated deep relationships with some of our largest limited partners.”
He thanked Urquhart for his “exceptional contributions and dedication to the firm.
