About Me

Stephen Feinberg cofounded private equity firm Cerberus Capital Management in 1992. Under Feinberg's leadership, Cerberus has generated some excellent returns, and some abysmal PR. The firm attracted negative attention in 2013 for its stake in Freedom Group, which manufactured the rifle used in the Sandy Hook massacre. Cerberus has recently achieved more success with its investment in grocery chain Albertsons and its global real estate funds. Feinberg was sworn in as President Trump's deputy secretary of defense in March 2025.
