Co-Founder, Managing Partner
Clearlake Capital Group
Behdad Eghbali co-founded Santa Monica-based Clearlake Capital in 2006 alongside José E. Feliciano after earlier stints at Morgan Stanley and TPG Capital. As of early 2026, Clearlake oversees about $185 billion in assets under management – a scale reached after the November 2025 purchase of Pathway Capital Management. Beyond finance, Eghbali serves as the majority owner and most visible face of Chelsea FC – recently stepping forward with rare public commitments to the club’s long-term future amid scrutiny of the ownership’s on-pitch results.
