Frank Carone, the well-known Brooklyn attorney and former president of the Brooklyn Bar Association, is leveraging his stature and influence to make a power play in the consulting industry.
Carone’s firm, Oaktree Solutions, announced that former U.S. Representative Max Rose will join as the new managing director for federal and international affairs.
Rose, who has built an impressive resume as a Purple Heart and Bronze Star recipient, former senior advisor to the Secretary of Defense, and representative for New York, is expected to bring considerable experience and gravitas to Oaktree Solutions. In his new role, he will provide strategic guidance and support to an array of clients, drawing from the diverse skills and values he’s developed over the years.
“I couldn’t be more excited to join a firm that’s in its early stages and yet already operating globally and at enormous scale,” said Rose. “As I thought about the next chapter in my career, I was struck by not only what Frank Carone and his team are building, but also by the Oaktree team’s commitment to serving with joy, value, and understanding.”
Carone, whose long-standing influence extends beyond the legal realm and into the political landscape of New York City, is expected to bring significant strategic and networking assets to Oaktree Solutions. Having served as an advisor to Mayor Adams, Carone’s extensive professional network and knowledge will likely play a key role in the firm’s trajectory.
“Max Rose has devoted his entire life and career to serving the common good, and he’s going to be an exceptional addition to our senior team,” said Oaktree Founder and Chairman Frank Carone. “Oaktree helps clients seize opportunities and navigate complex challenges. That’s Max’s specialty, and he’s going to bring enormous value to our work.”
