    The Convergence

    Layered savory mille-feuille with truffle cream, parmesan & gold leaf — AI, capital & identity in one bite

    Why this bite? Liz navigates the convergence of AI, PE, and identity. This layered mille-feuille holds all three forces in one bite.

    The Story

    AI compresses decision cycles. Private equity consolidates platforms. Customers arrive informed and impatient. Younger professionals measure industries against influencer economies. Liz navigates all of it simultaneously — in a few weeks she'll attend an AI masterclass at MIT alongside other portfolio leaders.
