Scott Meyer shared thisVery exciting, and smart, strategic move for Eric Wheeler !!Scott Meyer shared thisWe are currently witnessing the greatest economic realignment of our lifetime. Over the next two decades, over $100 trillion in wealth will transfer to younger generations. At the same time, dynamic economic shifts mean a smaller, highly concentrated share of U.S. households holds the vast majority of consumer wealth. On top of this, younger generations manage money, discover products, and interact with financial institutions in fundamentally different ways than their parents. Just as healthcare and retail media mandated vertical adtech platforms, financial services require an integrated solution built for its unique data, compliance, and measurement needs. This is why we built WealthStage™. After 15+ years of delivering 33Across data, identity, and monetization solutions for the programmatic ecosystem, we realized our infrastructure, data expertise, and financial services insights would deliver what generalized advertising platforms couldn’t - results. Instead of just finding affluent users, WealthStage identifies households with financial capacity, lifestage relevance, and active intent, and then continuously learns and optimizes for what drives real business results. A huge thank you to our team, our partners, and our industry advisors who helped us bring this vision to life. The future of financial advertising begins today. Take a look and see what we’re doing for financial advertising. You can read more in our full press release here https://lnkd.in/gv_gDD5d or visit WealthStage.ai

Scott Meyer reposted thisScott Meyer reposted thisThe demand for AI compute feels almost insatiable. But the ability to meet that demand will increasingly come down to one critical factor: power. When I talk to my clients, power is the currency that rules the data center world. PwC’s new Global Data Centre Outlook projects US$31.6 trillion of investment in AI infrastructure through 2050, with annual data centre capex rising from around US$800bn today to US$1.8tn by 2050.

Scott Meyer reposted thisScott Meyer reposted thisThe next wave of M&A won't just be bigger. It will be smarter. We're seeing AI reshape the entire deal lifecycle—from how opportunities are identified and evaluated to how transactions move with greater speed, precision, and confidence. At the same time, rising investment in infrastructure and the return of megadeals are redefining where growth is happening. The firms that win won't simply react to these shifts. They'll use them to create advantage. PwC's mid-year Deals outlook explores the forces shaping what's next—and what leaders should be thinking about now. https://pwc.to/3E96t8r Lucy Stapleton Brian Levy Kevin Desai Erik Hummitzsch Mohit Chopra #PwCDeals #IndustryTrends #AI #megadeals #infrastructure

Scott Meyer reposted thisScott Meyer reposted thisM&A has supersized. Deals are getting bigger, faster and more AI-driven. Today we’re launching our mid-year global M&A outlook, and in this video, Lucy Stapleton and I unpack some of the most important themes shaping the market. AI is intensifying the K-shaped M&A market by driving megadeals, redirecting capital, and reshaping sector winners and losers. It is also forcing dealmakers to radically rethink how deals get done. Watch the highlights in the video, then read the full outlook here: https://pwc.to/3S0IBer #PwCDeals #IndustryTrends #megadeals #AI #Kshape Kevin Desai Erik Hummitzsch Mohit Chopra Josh Smigel Steve Cater Andrew McKechnie Hein Marais Colin McIntyre Nick Donkar John Selvey Eric Janson Bart Spiegel Barry Jaber Tim Bodner Tracy Herrmann Herve Roesch Christopher Sur Jaymal Patel Michelle Ritchie Bruce Hutchison Rick Van Dommelen Aaron Gilcreast, CFA Chris Temple David Totaro Peter Wolterman Lisa Hooker Imad Matar Mark O'Reilly Colin Smith Carl Sizer Mohamed Kande Paul Griggs Stephane Salustro

Scott Meyer reposted thisScott Meyer reposted thisThe private equity story of 2026 isn't a market recovery or a market slowdown—it's a market bifurcation. In our new PwC US Deals 2026 Midyear Private Equity Outlook, now live, three themes stand out: 🔹 PE's bifurcation is accelerating. Deal volume is down, but capital continues to concentrate in larger, higher-conviction opportunities. The market is rewarding proven performers, not broad participation. 🔹 DPI is now the fundraising metric that matters most. LPs are prioritizing realized returns over paper gains, creating a widening gap between managers that can return capital and those that can't. 🔹 AI is reshaping value creation. It's disrupting legacy software valuations while creating new opportunities for operational improvement and portfolio growth. The takeaway: this isn't simply a slower market—it's a more selective one. Firms that can demonstrate value creation, deliver liquidity, and embrace AI are creating their own opportunities. Read the full report for our outlook on what's ahead for PE in H2 2026. #PrivateEquity #Deals #PwC https://lnkd.in/eTEjRxPHPrivate equity: US Deals 2026 midyear outlook: M&A TrendsPrivate equity: US Deals 2026 midyear outlook: M&A Trends

Scott Meyer reposted thisScott Meyer reposted thisRIP Tokenmaxxing 🪦 When companies started rewarding the people who used AI the most — setting up leaderboards, tracking token consumption — it sounded like a smart way to drive adoption. And it was... until it wasn't. We're now seeing the consequences play out: startups where the token budget is bigger than the salaries budget; companies burning through their entire year of AI spend in four months; developers who are afraid to sleep because they can't step away from their 20 coding agents. That's not productivity. That's FOMO masquerading as innovation. The real opportunity isn't in maxing out token usage — it's in asking smarter questions: Which model is right for which task? Where does AI actually close the loop on meaningful work? And what institutional knowledge are you at risk of losing if you optimize purely for speed? As Michael Costigan and I discussed in our latest conversation, incredible technology doesn't automatically mean sustainable economics. The companies that win won't be the ones who spent the most tokens. They'll be the ones who spent them on the right things.

Scott Meyer reposted thisHappy to see PwC getting recognized as a leader in AI consulting services. We are not the loudest voice, but we cut through the noise!Scott Meyer reposted thisProud of our teams, our clients, and our alliance ecosystem—PwC has been recognized as a Leader in The Forrester Wave™ for AI Consulting Services report. What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it reflects not only the strength of our AI capabilities, but also how we’re helping clients move from experimentation to enterprise-wide transformation—with speed, collaboration, and measurable outcomes at the center. Across the market, we’re seeing organizations shift from asking what AI could do to focusing on how to scale it in ways that fundamentally reshape how they operate, compete, and grow. That’s where the real opportunity is, and it’s energizing to work alongside clients as they turn ambition into action and build what’s next! https://lnkd.in/d9yxnX7y

Scott Meyer reacted on thisScott Meyer reacted on thisYesterday, The Coca-Cola Company announced their decision to re-appoint WPP as their trusted partner to drive continued growth for the future. Building on the strength of our creative and production partnership with integrated media, creator, commerce, data and technology, underscores the depth of our integrated offer and ability to deliver today while envisioning tomorrow. As Manuel "Manolo" Arroyo said in Coca-Cola's statement, “WPP delivered a stellar performance during the reviews, demonstrating their strong, modern media, tech and data capabilities. Their data solution Open Intelligence builds on proven results from our FIFA World Cup 2026 activation across the world.” I could not be prouder of our teams from across our business who worked together to make this win possible. Most importantly, thank you to everyone at The Coca-Cola Company for your continued partnership. We’re thrilled to have the opportunity to deliver on your trust every day and can’t wait to show the world what we’ll build together next. Cindy Rose OBE Adam Gerhart Toby Jenner Lauren Wetzel

Scott Meyer liked thisScott Meyer liked thisSuch a treat and an honor to be back on campus at Harvard Business School as a new member of the HBS Alumni Board! It was a privilege to engage with HBS leadership and faculty, and gain insights into how the School is embracing and navigating the rapidly evolving world of AI. I was especially excited to learn that more HBS graduates than ever are pursuing entrepreneurship (Yay, Rock Center! 🚀). Equally rewarding was connecting with alumni from different years, sharing experiences, and forging new friendships around the world. Grateful for the opportunity to give back to an institution that has played such an important role in my journey. #HBS #HarvardBusinessSchool #HBSAlumniBoard Ann Lucena Kerin Hempel Paula Madoff Effie Epstein Ana Kertesz Jeff George Goetz Gerecke Anko van der Werff Dan Gilbane Jana Kierstead Alex Crisses Wakana Tanaka John Tolsma Amanda Burlison Andrea Faccio Patricia Kelly Joanne Hoffer Karen Gordon Karen Stanley

Scott Meyer reacted on thisScott Meyer reacted on thisThis is what #sports are all about. ⚾ 🏀 ⚽ 🎾 🎳 🏑 🏒 🏓 🥊 🥋 🥅 ⛳ ⛸ 🎯 🎱 Sometimes #leadership is subtle, just like in this #highschool #football game. Core Traits of #Subtle #Leaders • #Listening more than talking: They create psychological safety by pausing before answering, respecting silence, and letting others speak first. • #Leading by action: They roll up their sleeves to support the team during hard moments rather than managing strictly from a distance. • Deflecting credit: They celebrate team successes openly and shine the spotlight on others while taking ownership of mistakes. Why Subtle #Leadership Works • Builds deep #trust: People follow subtle leaders because they want to, not because they have to. • Reduces defensive reactions: Unspoken cues, calm body language, and neutral language lower workplace anxiety and lower staff turnover. • Focuses on the #mission: The attention stays on the work and the collective goal rather than the leader's ego #success #motivation #inspiration #inspire #youthsports #NFL National Football League (NFL)

Scott Meyer liked thisAwesome opportunity to work with the better DH - Dave Helmreich. Get a front-row seat to the evolution of advertising during this period...Scott Meyer liked thisI’m hiring a Chief of Staff at TripleLift: part strategy consultant, part operator, and my right hand as we scale. You’ll help shape the strategy and then stay to make it happen. This is not an administrative role. It’s a high-trust seat on the exec team, reporting directly to me, and it’s built as a stepping stone to senior strategy, operations or P&L leadership. Why now: TripleLift is the Creative SSP powered by TL Spark, our agentic intelligence layer. We bring creative, supply, audience and measurement together into one outcome-driven system across the open internet, retail media and CTV. The work is hard, the opportunity is real, and the team moves with intent and urgency. What you’ll do: 🧠 Be a thought partner to me and the exec team on strategic questions, building the KPIs that tie to our mission 🏎️ Drive cross-functional initiatives across finance, operations and go-to-market, including margin improvement, and growth programs 🫸 Pressure-test plans before rollout and give candid, data-backed feedback 🏃♀️➡️ Run the executive operating rhythm, including board and sponsor prep 🏋♀️ Support 100-day plans, synergy tracking and integration work for M&A ✨ Work closely with Vista Equity Partners on strategic initiatives and key operating priorities What I’m looking for: - 4+ years at a top strategy consulting firm or experience in investment banking, ideally with corporate strategy, operations or PE portfolio exposure - Comfort moving between high-level strategy and day-to-day execution - Low ego, high output, and the ability to influence without authority - Willingness to roll up your sleeves - An MBA, Masters, PE portfolio experience, or a background as a military officer are all a plus. Hybrid, 3 days a week in our New York office. If this sounds like you, apply, DM me or send it to someone great. Full job description and application: https://lnkd.in/eNsS_J5Y

Scott Meyer liked thisScott Meyer liked thisThe fan experience doesn't stop at the final whistle. As the San Francisco 49ers' Official Digital Consulting Partner, PwC helped build an AI-native platform designed around the Faithful, creating a more personalized, connected fan experience that extends beyond game day. The results speak for themselves. Average time spent on the platform jumped from 30 seconds to more than 10 minutes. Offseason daily active users increased 150%. And the platform is now reaching active users in more than 134 countries. This isn't just about building a better fan experience. It's about reimagining what's possible when AI is embedded at the core: turning seasonal engagement into year-round connection and growth. Proud of what our team accomplished alongside the 49ers. https://lnkd.in/gUu3TJ69 #PwC #49ers #FanEngagement #AI
