KKR has named Roy Gori as a senior advisor. In this role, Gori will advise KKR on strategic opportunities across global financial services and insurance with a focus on Asia Pacific and international markets.

Gori is the former president and CEO of Manulife. Prior to becoming CEO, Gori served as president and CEO of Manulife Asia. He began his career at Citibank in 1989, rising to lead the firm's Asia Pacific retail business.

The appointment signals KKR's continued push into financial services and insurance sectors, particularly in high-growth Asian markets. Gori's deep experience leading Manulife's Asian operations and his decades at Citibank provide valuable insight into regional regulatory landscapes and distribution networks.

No financial terms were disclosed for the advisory role. The move follows KKR's broader strategy of leveraging industry veterans to identify and execute complex transactions in regulated sectors.
