Feliciano and Behdad Eghbali, Co-Founders and Managing Partners at Clearlake. “By bringing together complementary capabilities, deep private markets expertise, and shared cultural values, we are enhancing our ability to serve investors worldwide with broader, more tailored solutions across an increasingly dynamic market landscape.
