Blackstone Fireside Chat With José E. Feliciano

Blackstone celebrates the National Hispanic Heritage Month with a fireside chat featuring our Co-Founder, José E. Feliciano. At the event, José spoke about his journey as an investor and entrepreneur, co-building Clearlake into a global investment firm with over $100 billion in assets under management. He shared his commitment to advancing equity, opportunity, and impact through his personal philanthropy.

During the fireside chat, José talked about resilience, values, the responsibility that comes with opportunity, and the ups and downs of being a founder and entrepreneur. He reflected on how understanding what makes us unique can connect us — not divide us.

It was an evening featuring live Latin American music, food, and beverages from Hispanic-owned businesses.
