Timothy Geithner, the former U.S. Treasury secretary who supervised government bailouts of some of the largest companies after the 2008 financial crisis, agreed to join private-equity firm Warburg Pincus LLC after more than 25 years in public service.
Geithner, 52, will become president at the New York-based buyout firm starting March 1 and help in managing the company, investing its funds and communicating with investors, according to a statement today from Warburg Pincus. He will work with Chip Kaye and Joe Landy, who have led the firm since 2000 and this year began sharing the title of co-chief executive officer.
