TPG announced that Axel André has been named Partner and Chief Financial Officer of the firm. André’s appointment is effective July 27, 2026.
He will succeed Jack Weingart, who will transition fully into his role as CEO of TPG’s Global Wealth Solutions business. Weingart added that role to his responsibilities last year to lead and build out the firm’s wealth platform.
André joins TPG from Reinsurance Group of America, where he served as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and was a member of the Executive Committee.
Before joining Reinsurance Group of America, André served as Chief Financial Officer of American Equity Life and Jackson National. Earlier in his career, he was Chief Financial Officer and Chief Risk Officer of the Individual and Group Retirement Services division of AIG.
André began his career at Goldman Sachs, where he ultimately served as Managing Director of Global Insurance Strategies for the Investment Management Division.
TPG said its Global Wealth Solutions business has seen significant momentum since inception and has become an important and fast-growing source of capital for the firm.
As Weingart shifts his full attention to Global Wealth Solutions, TPG said private wealth remains a key strategic priority and a major opportunity for the firm.
TPG’s private equity evergreen business, T-POP, has had a strong first year, and the broader platform continues to attract individuals seeking access to private markets opportunities.
TPG is a global alternative asset management firm with $306 billion in assets under management.
KEY QUOTES:
“Over the past five years, TPG has transformed into a scaled and diversified platform shaping the future of alternative investing.

“Jack has been a critical part of our growth since our IPO, and his leadership has played an important role in guiding TPG through a transformative period of expansion and diversification.

Under Jack’s leadership, T-POP, our private equity evergreen business, has had a strong first year, and the broader platform continues to resonate with individuals seeking access to unique private markets opportunities and the power of our franchise. As we continue to broaden our offerings across asset classes, we view Jack as the right leader to build on all we’ve achieved to date.”
