Quantium is proud to sponsor SuperReturn CFO/COO 2026, taking place from 5 to 7 October at the Hotel Okura in Amsterdam. Quantium Co-Founder Sun Suriyapatanapong will moderate the panel “How are GPs using AI in their workflow?” on Monday 5 October, from 14:25 to 15:00, at the conference’s Data, Technology & AI Summit.
SuperReturn CFO/COO is the leading European gathering for finance, operations, compliance and technology leaders in private capital. It brings together more than 500 senior professionals from private equity, private credit and venture capital firms across over 30 countries. The agenda covers fund structures, the regulatory outlook, operational scalability and talent, alongside a growing body of content on how data, automation and AI are changing the day-to-day running of a fund.
Panel Details: How are GPs using AI in their workflow?
Monday 5 October 2026, 14:25 – 15:00 | Afternoon technical seminars II | Hotel Okura, Amsterdam
AI is undisputedly playing a role in the private markets ecosystem. Most GPs have now run – or are running – some form of pilot programme. The harder question is which of those experiments have survived contact with a live fund: which tools the finance and operations team actually reach for each week, which tools were not fit for purpose, and what it took to get from a convincing demo or test run to material that auditors, LPs or an investment committees can rely on.
Sun will lead the discussion with Iohan Dessard, CFO and Compliance Officer at Contrarian Ventures, and Morten Korsveien, Head of Operations and Finance at Sandwater. Both operate in firms where a lean team carries a broad remit and where any new tool has to earn its place quickly.
What the Panel Will Cover
Middle- and Back-Office Operational Impact:
- Extracting and normalising data from unstructured portfolio company reporting.
- Drafting and quality-checking investor communications.
- First-pass review of quarterly submissions.
- Reducing the manual effort involved in preparing and analysing fund and portfolio data.
Scaling Constraints & Operational Realities:
- How firms are handling confidentiality and data residency when working with third-party models.
- Identifying where a human review step remains non-negotiable.
- How general-purpose assistants such as Claude and ChatGPT compare with AI capability embedded directly in the fund accounting and portfolio monitoring systems a team already uses.
- How to build internal confidence in output that cannot always be traced line by line.
For GPs currently deciding where to concentrate their own efforts, the session is a forum for practitioners to discuss real AI use cases at their firms – what has worked, what has not, and how they would do things differently in future.
