In this episode of The Dealist podcast, we’re joined again by Professor Scott Moeller, founder and director of the M&A Research Centre at Bayes Business School, City, University of London — and former global head of corporate development at Morgan Stanley and Deutsche Bank.
We discuss how artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming mergers and acquisitions (M&A) from the classroom to the boardroom — and how dealmakers at every stage of their career can build AI confidence and capability.
Listen to learn:
- How business schools are embedding AI literacy into M&A education
- Ways junior professionals can balance GenAI tools with human intuition
- How mid-level dealmakers can upskill through training and hands-on experience
- Why senior leaders need humility — and practice — to make AI work for them
- Where AI is headed next: due diligence, negotiation simulations, scenario planning and post-merger integration
