(a) Integrating AI with other technologies to boost efficiency and customer satisfaction (b) Selecting adaptable leaders with diverse experiences and pattern recognition skills (c) Forming mutually beneficial strategic partnerships
He underscores the critical role of operating partners, advocating for their early involvement in due diligence and emphasizing constant communication between deal teams and portfolio companies.
