\nCollaboration brings together<\/i> OpenAI\u2019s leading AI capabilities and<\/i> Clearlake AI Labs to drive innovation, operational excellence, and value creation across Clearlake\u2019s global portfolio<\/i><\/p><\/a><\/a>

SANTA MONICA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Clearlake Capital Group, L.P. (\u201cClearlake\u201d or the \u201cFirm\u201d), a global investment firm managing integrated platforms spanning private equity, liquid and private credit, and other related strategies, today announced a strategic partnership with OpenAI designed to help accelerate artificial intelligence (\u201cAI\u201d) adoption and transformation across Clearlake\u2019s 50+ portfolio companies.<\/p>

\nThrough the collaboration, Clearlake and OpenAI will work together to identify, develop, and deploy high-impact AI solutions that enhance operational efficiency and decision making, unlock new growth opportunities, and create greater value for customers and stakeholders. Portfolio companies will benefit from access to OpenAI\u2019s leading AI technologies, including GPT-5.6 and ChatGPT Work, alongside Clearlake AI Labs, the Firm\u2019s dedicated in-house team focused on supporting management teams to evaluate AI opportunities, prioritize use cases, make build-versus-buy decisions, and accelerate implementation across products, operations, and customer-facing functions.<\/p>

\nThe partnership builds on Clearlake\u2019s longstanding approach to operational value creation and technology-enabled transformation. By combining OpenAI\u2019s advanced AI capabilities with Clearlake\u2019s deep sector expertise and operational resources, the firms aim to help portfolio companies responsibly adopt AI at scale and translate innovation into measurable business outcomes.<\/p>

\nAt Clearlake-backed Alteryx, adoption of OpenAI products has moved well beyond engineering. The company\u2019s legal team uses ChatGPT Enterprise and Codex to handle contract negotiation and AI risk assessments, and more than half of the engineering team is actively leveraging Codex CLI.<\/p>

\nAt Cornerstone OnDemand, a Clearlake portfolio company, Codex has become core to how the company creates products and serves customers. \"Codex has changed how we build at Cornerstone,\" said Himanshu Palsule, CEO of Cornerstone OnDemand. \"Our teams use reusable Codex Skills to turn customer conversations into presentations, architecture options, and working prototypes in days\u2014showing customers the art of the possible before development even begins.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cWe believe AI represents one of the most significant technology shifts of our generation and a powerful opportunity to create value across industries,\u201d said Prashant Mehrotra, Partner and Managing Director at Clearlake. \u201cOur partnership with OpenAI reflects Clearlake\u2019s commitment to helping portfolio companies harness transformative technologies to strengthen operations, accelerate innovation, and better serve their customers. By combining OpenAI\u2019s industry-leading capabilities with Clearlake\u2019s operational approach, we believe we can help portfolio companies scale, unlock meaningful value creation opportunities, and build durable competitive advantages.\u201d<\/p>

\n\u201cOrganizations across industries are increasingly looking to AI as a catalyst for innovation, growth, acceleration and efficiency gains to reinvest into new products,\u201d said Matt Jankow, Head of Private Equity, OpenAI. \u201cClearlake has built a differentiated model for helping portfolio companies create value through operational excellence and technology adoption. Together, using frontier technology like GPT-5.6 and ChatGPT Work, we look forward to helping companies identify high-impact AI applications, accelerate deployment, and realize the full potential of AI across their businesses.\u201d<\/p>
