Lazard CEO and Chairman Peter Orszag on CNBC’s Squawk on the Street

On January 30, Lazard CEO and Chairman Peter Orszag appeared on CNBC's Squawk on the Street following Lazard reporting fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 earnings. He provided insights on Lazard's strong quarter as the firm progress towards 2030 objectives, as well as his perspectives on the dealmaking environment under the new U.S. administration and the U.S. Federal Reserve's recent interest rate decision.

Peter noted, "We're on our pathway to Lazard 2030. We're ahead of schedule and...the year is looking strong, and within that, Lazard is on its way. It's really exciting." Regarding the firm's strategic growth, he shared, "We've been really pleased with the talent we've been able to bring on...and we're going to keep building in 2025...I think the sense that Lazard, despite being 176 years old, is on the move and a sense of inflection is really pervasive."
