We were delighted to sponsor the first AI Pathfinder breakfast of the year yesterday at the Sea Containers in London.    Max Yish (Director) and Mark Leader (Associate Director) joined 80+ PE leaders to discuss what’s actually changing in AI. The key theme was cutting through the noise and separating everyday AI tools from genuinely agentic AI, and where that can help drive real value in portfolio businesses. Having partnered with AI Pathfinder on their strategy day last September, we were excited to work together again to deliver actionable insights for attendees.   Max Yish commented: “We came away with real-world insights that will directly enhance how we drive value creation for our PE clients and their portfolios. The shift toward agentic AI isn’t just a technical evolution; it’s a tangible pathway to smarter, more impactful decision-making in the value-creation journey.” Mark Leader commented: "Agentic AI dominated the conversation, but the consistent message was clear: none of it works without strong data foundations. Data quality, governance and human oversight remain absolutely critical to unlocking real value.”   If you're interested in how AI implementation can drive value creation across your portfolio, get in touch with our team to discuss via [email protected] or [email protected]. #privateequity #agenticai #artificialintelligence #valuecreation #portfoliooperations #perfectlyplaced
