Join Joe and Tobias exploring the intersect between Private Equity value creation & AI strategy.

In this 20-minute conversation, Tobias Haefele and Joe Siantonas share their perspectives on how artificial intelligence is transforming private equity.

They also explore the role of strategy consultants in AI transformation, the skills funds need to build effective AI squads, and what the next five years could look like as the hype fades and adoption matures.
