What does it actually take to move AI from a talking point to tangible business value in a private equity portfolio? In this episode, ECI's Executive Director Dean Hill sits down with Valérie Legat, Managing Director and Head of Digital at Astorg, to explore exactly that.
Valérie shares how Astorg has built two structured AI workstreams across more than 25 portfolio companies — one focused on driving operational efficiency in go-to-market and customer operations, and another on fundamentally rewiring software-heavy companies to put AI at the core of their product development. Central to their approach is a thriving community of practice with over 200 digital and tech leaders sharing knowledge and driving adoption across the portfolio.
Dean also brings ECI's perspective on what they're seeing across their global client base, and both speakers close with a candid outlook on where AI in private equity is headed over the next 12 to 18 months.
