No stranger to private equity, Brenneman is also the chief executive of TurnWorks, a buyout shop he founded in 1994. But most of his experience with the industry is as a CEO brought in by a new private equity owners to fix a struggling portfolio company. He joined Burger King Holdings Inc. as president to turn around the struggling fast-food chain when it was bought by Bain Capital LLC, Goldman Sachs Capital Partners and TPG Capital. He engineered the $3.5 billion sale of PwC Consulting only two months after becoming president and CEO in 2002. Brenneman is also the former CEO of Continental Airlines and Aloha Holdings Inc.

CCMP closed its latest fund CCMP Capital Investors II, L.P. in September 2007 with $3.4 billion. - George White
