Technology transactions are being reshaped by AI, but the real challenge for leaders is understanding what creates value and what can quietly derail a deal.

In this episode of Inside Tech Minds, Carly Gulliver speaks with James Dawson, Corporate Finance Partner, and Damon Rosamond-Lanzetta, Head of Tech Sector at Addleshaw Goddard, about what makes technology transactions succeed in an AI-driven market. Drawing on real-world deal experience, the conversation explores the strategic, operational and commercial decisions that increasingly define successful outcomes.

The episode focuses on the issues that matter most during modern technology transactions: why involving advisers early is critical, why integration risk is now a core deal issue rather than a day-two problem, and how overstating “AI-powered” capabilities can conceal significant commercial and operational risks. Topics also include the infrastructure underpinning AI growth from data centres and power through to legacy systems as well as how AI is reshaping governance expectations, value creation and buy-versus-build decisions.

Essential listening for CEOs, CIOs, CTOs and deal teams navigating AI-driven transactions with a focus on execution, integration and long-term value rather than hype.
