This has been a key corporate objective. Second, Stu  will        play a key role identifying and executing on strategic  opportunities to        build our business. I am confident that Stu&#8217;s contributions will  help        drive continued, meaningful progress at Fortress.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Since 1997,\u00a0 Bohart held positions of increasing responsibility at        Morgan Stanley, most recently as Co-Head of Morgan Stanley  Investment        Management (&#8220;MSIM&#8221;), a $400 billion AUM asset management complex        spanning hedge funds, private equity, real estate, infrastructure,         public equity, fixed income, cash management and Fund of Funds.
