Ed Brandman, CEO of ToltIQ and Former Chief Information Officer of KKR. From KKR to AI: The New Edge in PE
AI is no longer optional for institutional PE investors.
In this live session, we go beyond AI hype and examine how enterprise-grade intelligence is reshaping private equity workflows.
Private equity teams today face an explosion of unstructured data: CIMs, contracts, customer transcripts, data room materials, and operating reports. While consumer AI tools can generate quick answers, they often fail in institutional settings where auditability, governance, and defensibility matter.
Join Ed Brandman — former CIO at KKR and current CEO of ToltIQ — for a discussion on where AI actually fits in private equity today.
We’ll cover:
• Why speed and conviction matter — and how AI can help
• Where consumer AI tools fail in institutional workflows
• What enterprise AI means for auditability, repeatability, and governance
• A live sprint demo on the ToltIQ platform
Who is ToltIQ?
