I’ve been approached by many different headhunters on these roles now, given my background. Going through a couple processes at the moment. If you’re interested to discuss lmk.

I don’t have generic thoughts about them but happy to discuss what you are seeing or hearing or getting approached for.

Same situation as above. Have been getting a ton of inbound but am hesitant. More times than not the role is somewhat undefined and the expectations of success unclear. Trad pe ops partners (procurement, it, talent) there is ways to clearly demonstrate value and your salary. With ai - roi is still unclear, most Portcos have not great data - feels….. like a recipe for disaster. Wonder if you have any insights or alternative POVs.

Although conceptually it's great timing, I would offer a warning/contrary view. most PEs are still figuring out what AI means across the portfolio companies and/or GP-level. be wary of poor role scoping, definition and success measurement as it pertains to bonuses and career growth in vc teams.

Noted - good to double-click with them how they measure success. Many/most firms may use enterprise value accretion, others may try profitability metrics. less established may incorporate qualitative measures. Good to verify how willing portco's have successfully invested as per GPs advice. You will want to avoid a situation where portco's are resistant to investing, leading to challenges delivering tangible EV or EBITDA impact, yet those are measurements your comp and career depend upon. also matters if buyout vs minority stakes.
