Summary

CVC, a European private-equity firm managing about $250 billion, will appoint Todd Sisitsky from TPG as one of its co-CEOs starting early 2028. He will share the role with Peter Rutland, while current CEO Rob Lucas steps down. CVC has been planning for succession and facing challenges in monetizing investments recently, missing profit targets for deal returns over the past two years.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
