During her tenure, she was the first female Partner appointment in Europe and the second globally and also served as the Head of the European Industrials Team. Across various economic cycles and a diverse range of end markets, Ms. Scheiber has led and overseen several investments where industrial value creation was at the core.  Prior to joining KKR, she started her career with Goldman Sachs in Frankfurt. Ms. Scheiber has served as an independent board member of several listed and unlisted companies, in addition to her extensive board experience during her time at KKR. She holds an MBA from University of St. Gallen and a Master of Community of European Business Schools (CEMS) from École des Hautes Etudes Commerciales (HEC), Paris.
