NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--ATL Partners (“ATL”) today announced that Caleb Clark has joined the firm as a Senior Partner. In this new role, Mr. Clark will support leading the firm’s private equity investment business. Mr. Clark will assist in managing ATL strategic initiatives, capital formation strategies, and firm and portfolio operations.

Caleb is a proven investor who shares our passion for building successful, enduring businesses, and brings with him significant investing experience and a deep network of sector relationships. The aerospace, transportation and logistics sectors have tremendous long-term tailwinds and momentum, and ATL is well positioned to capitalize on what I believe is a very attractive investing environment.
