Stephen Murray is out as president and CEO of CCMP Capital, the New York-based private equity firm that raised $3.6 billion for its latest fund just five months ago. He had been just one of two CCMP executives listed on SEC filings for that fund — chairman Greg Brenneman was the other — and one of five control persons listed on CCMP’s most recent Form ADV.

No word yet on why Murray left or where he might be going. He was removed from the firm’s website within the past 10 days.

Murray had been with CCMP since 1999, at which time it was known as Chase Capital Partners (later becoming JPMorgan Partners, before spinning out independently in 2006). As of last check, his board seats included Crestcom International, Infogroup Inc., Jetro JMDH Holdings, LHP Hospital Group, Octagon Credit Investors, Ollie’s Bargain Outlet and Strongwood Insurance Holdings.

CCMP has not yet returned requests for comment.

UPDATE: A CCMP spokeswoman says that Murray’s departure is “health-related,” and declined to provide any further comment on what happens to his board seats or who might succeed Murray as CEO.

MUSCAT, OMAN - MARCH 22: The Albina Bulk carrier sits anchored on March 22, 2026 at Sultan Qaboos Port in Muscat, Oman.President Donald Trump had threatened to attack Iran's energy infrastructure if it did not end its de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz by just before midnight GMT of March 23. A subsequent statement from President Trump said the U.S. and Iran had held "very good and productive conversations regarding a complete and total resolution of our hostilities in the Middle East," and that he would postpone any attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure for five days. Maritime traffic through the strait, which conveys about 20% of the world's oil and gas, has mostly come to a halt after the joint U.S.-Israeli war with Iran that began on February 28.
