AI: Making the Jump launches Monday 9 November 2026, bringing together leading investors, operators and business leaders to explore how AI can translate into measurable commercial value.

 

Camino Search is delighted to announce the launch of the sixth edition of The Global Report, its international thought-leadership publication for the private capital community.

 

Titled AI: Making the Jump, the latest edition tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing private equity investors and their portfolio companies: how to move beyond AI experimentation and unlock meaningful, measurable business value.

 

As AI rapidly reshapes the competitive landscape, the conversation is shifting from what the technology can do to what businesses can actually achieve with it.

 

 

Above: The Global Report in HD print. The publication features thought leaders from across the private capital ecosystem as well as analysis on the performance of private capital activity in 2026.

 

Issue Six cuts through the hype to examine the practical realities of AI adoption, exploring how investors and management teams can harness emerging technologies to accelerate revenue growth, improve operational efficiency, protect margins and ultimately enhance enterprise value.

 

Bringing together leading voices from private equity, technology, finance and business leadership, the publication combines strategic perspectives with actionable insights from those at the forefront of transformation.

 

Highlights from the latest edition include:

·       Your First 005 AI Agents: Sloan Session shares five practical ways CFOs can begin deploying AI agents within their finance functions.

·       The AI Revenue Engine: Sunil Rajan explores how private equity leaders can leverage AI to transform go-to-market strategies and accelerate commercial growth.

·       Unclaimed Value: Giovanni Romero, Operating Partner at Providence Equity Partners, identifies opportunities for mid-market businesses to unlock value through AI.

·       Stop Looking For A Silver Bullet: Mark McCardle, CFO of Group.one, examines why strong data, robust processes and sound business fundamentals remain essential to successful AI implementation.

 

Beyond AI, the edition examines the broader forces shaping the private capital landscape.

 

Returning guest editor and financial journalist Dan McEvoy provides an assessment of global market activity in 2026, while Cesare Gussago, Managing Director at Kroll, explores the emerging value frontier in infrastructure and the increasing importance of operational leadership.

 

Savea CEO Sam Mudie shares his vision for bringing real-world assets into the digital economy through blockchain and tokenisation. Former NFL tight end, author and executive coach Dr Damian Vaughn offers a different perspective, exploring The Flow State and the role of human performance in building exceptional teams.

 

 

 

Sachin Ruparelia, CEO of Camino Search, commented:

“AI represents one of the most significant opportunities for value creation that we’ve seen in a generation. But there’s a growing distinction between businesses that are simply experimenting with the technology and those that are successfully translating it into tangible commercial outcomes.

 

“For private equity investors and their portfolio companies, the opportunity is enormous. Whether it’s accelerating revenue growth, improving margins, driving operational efficiencies or creating entirely new business models, AI has the potential to fundamentally reshape how businesses compete and create value.

 

“However, technology alone isn’t the answer. The real differentiator will be the quality of leadership, the clarity of strategy and, critically, the ability to execute. The businesses that get this right will have a significant competitive advantage.

 

“That’s precisely what we wanted to explore in this edition of The Global Report. We’ve brought together an exceptional group of investors, operators and industry leaders to move the conversation beyond the hype and focus on what genuinely works.

 

“At Camino Search, we see first-hand the impact that exceptional leadership has on business performance. AI may be transforming the tools available to organisations, but it’s ultimately people who will determine how successfully those tools are deployed and the value they create.”

 

Rob Andrews, Marketing Director and Creative Editor of The Global Report, added:

“Every edition of The Global Report is an opportunity to bring together fresh thinking, diverse perspectives and exceptional people from across the private capital landscape.

 

“For Issue Six, we wanted to capture the extraordinary pace of change we’re witnessing, while keeping the focus firmly on what it means for businesses in practice.

 

“AI is an enormous subject, but the real story is how organisations make the jump from potential to execution.

 

“From the editorial direction and design to the calibre of our contributors, we’ve worked hard to create something that’s both visually distinctive and genuinely valuable to our readers. I’m incredibly proud of this edition and grateful to everyone who has contributed their expertise and insights.”

 

An expanding global audience

The Global Report has established a growing international readership, with more than 250,000 combined views across 28 countries and four continents, spanning its digital, print, email and social media channels.

 

The sixth edition builds on that momentum, reinforcing Camino Search’s commitment to connecting influential voices and sharing perspectives that help investors, business leaders and management teams navigate an increasingly complex and rapidly evolving commercial landscape.

 

Ultimately, AI: Making the Jump delivers a clear message: the next chapter of AI will not be defined by technological capability alone, but by the leadership, execution and measurable value it enables.
