Interview | Interesting Isn't Investable: Xavier Vallée on Turning AI Into Measurable EBITDA Growth

AI has become a permanent fixture of private equity value creation conversations. Yet despite the investment, excitement, and endless stream of pilots, many firms are still struggling to answer the question that matters most: Where is the EBITDA impact?

According to Xavier Vallée, Chief Technology & AI Officer at Tour Partner Group, the problem isn't AI itself. It's that too many organisations are funding initiatives that are interesting rather than investable.

In this exclusive interview, Xavier shares a practical framework for identifying AI opportunities that actually move the P&L. From automating decision-making and redesigning workflows to building the data foundations required for scale, he explains why the firms creating real value are focusing less on technology adoption and more on business outcomes.
