CEO and co-founder Jonathan Klein will also take part in the deal. \"In seventeen years, we have built a business that has revolutionized the industry, with innovation at its core,\" said Mark Getty. \"I am confident that the partnership between Getty Images and The Carlyle Group will see the company\'s success continue.\" Getty is a major distributor of photos, videos and multimedia products.
