Milwaukee, March 11 - Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. announced the transition of four professionals within its asset management platform to lead specific product lines to better capitalize on opportunities to grow KKR's portfolio.

Jamie Weinstein and Nathaniel Zilkha will be responsible for KKR's global special situations strategy, which includes distressed debt, debtor-in-possession and rescue financing as well as other structured investments.

Weinstein, previously a portfolio manager within KKR asset management, joined KKR in 2005 and has 11 years of industry experience.

Zilkha joined KKR in 2007 after eight years in Goldman Sachs' principal investment area, where he invested in private equity and principal debt transactions.

Erik Falk and Chris Sheldon will take charge of KKR's leveraged credit strategy, including leveraged loans, high-yield bonds and structured products.

Falk joined KKR in 2008 after eight years at Deutsche Bank's credit business, where he started the special situations proprietary trading group and co-headed the securitized products group.

Sheldon, a portfolio manager within KKR asset management, joined KKR in 2004 from Wells Fargo, where he was primarily responsible for investments in the high-yield asset class.

KKR is a New York-based alternative asset manager.
