Thoma Bravo’s billionaire founder says AI will transform junior workers’ roles by eliminating grunt work, despite growing concerns about the technology’s impact on entry-level roles.
Orlando Bravo, the founder of software-focused private equity firm Thoma Bravo, discussed how the role of junior associates is changing as the company increasingly utilizes AI, in a conversation with CNBC’s Annette Weisbach at the SuperReturn conference in Berlin on Tuesday.
The jobs of junior associates will become greater, and they’ll “mature a lot quicker,” Bravo said. “They’re spending a lot less time doing models or comparables than before…overall, now they really get into investing operations and a much bigger way of thinking about business.”
