Human capital executive search firm Camino Search has today launched the third issue of The Global Report – a half-yearly publication that invites thought leadership from representatives within the private capital ecosystem.

Since its inception in late 2023, the first two editions of the report have been viewed across social media, website, print, and email more than 200,000 times.

The launch of this third edition will reach 20,000 professionals and investors working across the private capital-backed tech and services space – which is quite remarkable. We have created a fantastic community of contributors and received unbelievable feedback from CFOs, Operating Partners, and leaders in private capital across four continents.
