    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.
