Industrials Private Equity Breakfast: Emerging Priorities in Commercial Excellence - AI & Tariff Management

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
NY PE

Tariffs - long a mainstay in shaping global commerce - have reemerged as a hot topic for industrial businesses, particularly as shifting trade policies continue to disrupt pricing structures and profitability. Meanwhile, AI stands at the cutting edge of innovation, with the potential to radically enhance commercial operations and decision-making. Yet concerns about data readiness, legacy system integration, and uncertain ROI leave many industrial executives cautious about fully embracing AI.

Join us for an exclusive executive breakfast where two critical threads for driving success in industrial markets will be discussed in depth:

  1. Tariff Management for Commercial Resilience
    Learn how private equity professionals and industrial executives are adapting to rapidly evolving tariff policies. Topics will include mitigating price volatility, managing commercial risks, and capitalizing on strategic opportunities to protect and enhance margins.
     
  2. AI-Driven Commercial Excellence
    Explore how AI is being deployed across industrial organizations to improve forecasting, optimize pricing, and unearth new revenue streams. We will address practical considerations - such as workforce enablement, data quality, and integration challenges - while highlighting real-world success stories demonstrating meaningful ROI.

Attendees will gain insights from seasoned PE leaders, industry veterans, and AI experts, all sharing cutting-edge strategies for thriving in an uncertain yet opportunity-rich landscape. Connect with peers, pose your toughest questions, and walk away with actionable ideas on how to effectively manage tariffs and harness AI separately - yet strategically - to strengthen your commercial advantage in 2025 and beyond.
