Arun Sarin’s name is being floated again, this time for a job at private equity firm Kohlberg Kravis Roberts. Last week, reports surfaced that the ex-Vodafone (NYSE: VOD) chief executive, who left the telecoms giant in July, was being considered for the role of ceo of Yahoo (NSDQ: YHOO). Now the Telegraph.co.uk is reporting, without citing a source, KKR has asked him to join the company as a partner. Sarin is no stranger to the firm. Before joining Vodafone from 2001-2003, Sarin was CEO of Accel-KKR Telecom, a joint venture looking specifically for investments in the telecoms sector.
