Warburg Pincus LLC, the private-equity firm where former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner is president, is in talks to hire Rene Obermann as a partner, according to a person with knowledge of the matter.
Obermann, the chief executive officer at Dutch cable-television operator Ziggo NV, would join Warburg Pincus’s London office following Ziggo’s sale to Liberty Global Inc. later this year, said the person, who requested anonymity because the information is private. Obermann, 51, spent seven years as CEO of Deutsche Telekom AG before joining Ziggo.
