PE/VC Operating Partner AI is a fund-level value-creation and talent cut - not the same mandate as the portco CAIO. The OP can demand the bearer in the portco or carry the contested yes at holdco.
Christian Pobbig and Beyond Chiefs work from Hamburg on AI Executive Search in DACH. Distinct from the PE portfolio spoke - OP cut here. No invented AUM/IRR.
False assumption: We have an AI Operating Partner - so the portcos are staffed. Fund cut and portco bearer are two mandates.
What decision-makers buy: the AI Executive Search mandate for the lasting bearer - in portco or at the fund/holdco cut where the yes sits.
