In this episode, Bleuzenn Pech de Pluvinel, Managing director for Private Equity at Accenture, Leader within the Global Private Equity Practice, shares how technology and AI are reshaping the private equity industry from the inside out.

We explore how the role of investors is shifting - from financial engineers to value creators - and how operational excellence, data, and digital capabilities are becoming the real differentiators in driving growth and returns.

Key Topics:

• Bleuzenn’s journey from public service to two decades in strategy consulting at Deloitte, BCG, and Accenture.
• How private equity has evolved from a purely financial model to one focused on operational transformation.
• The rise of operating partners inside funds - bridging strategy, execution, and expertise.
• Accenture’s positioning: from due diligence to post-acquisition transformation.
• The growing impact of AI on portfolio company performance.
• How to “operationalize” AI: starting small with use case by use case.
• The integration of ESG criteria as true value levers, beyond compliance.
• The mid-market as a fertile ground for innovation and sustainable impact.

A rich and forward-looking conversation about the new generation of private equity where strategy, technology, and purpose converge to redefine performance.
