[edit]Corporate career
The Carlyle Group was founded in 1987 by Stephen L. Norris and David M. Rubenstein. As they wanted the firm to outlive them, Norris and Rubenstein named the firm after the Upper East Side area hotel in New York City, the Carlyle Hotel, where they first met to discuss the idea. Norris and Rubenstein later hired Dan D'Aniello, William E. Conway, Jr. and Greg Rosenbaum.[3] Rosenbaum left in 1987[4]; Norris left in 1995[5]. The three remaining founders are reported to collectively own around a 50% interest in the group's general partnership. The rest of Carlyle is owned by a group of individuals, most of whom serve as managing directors, and by two institutional investors. Prior to co-founding the Carlyle Group, Mr. Norris was a senior executive at Marriott Corporation.
In 2008, Norris announced a memorandum of understanding with the SCO Group, a Unix and Linux software company involved in lawsuits against IBM, Novell, and others. Under the terms of the plan, Norris would purchase a controlling interest in SCO for $100 million.
