StrategyBridgeAI at DEALSOURCING 2026: AI in M&A, copilot, autopilot, or risk?
We are a partner at DEALSOURCING 2026, taking place on 1 September 2026 in Frankfurt / Oberursel.
DEALSOURCING is the leading event of the German corporate finance community, bringing together over 1,100 practitioners from M&A, financing, and restructuring. Private equity professionals, corporate M&A teams, advisors, lenders, and restructuring experts all in one place, for one day.
Our session: AI in M&A, copilot, autopilot, or risk?
Our co-founder and CEO Deniz Schütz hosts a panel session that gets straight to the question most deal teams are wrestling with right now: what role should AI actually play in a transaction, and where does it create more risk than value?
The panel brings together practitioners with direct M&A responsibility across corporate and advisory:
- Sebastian Bahnsen, Head of Mergers & Acquisitions, Dussmann Stiftung
- Thomas Lehmann, Co-Founder and Managing Partner, CDI Global Germany
- Tereza S. Scheffel, Head of Mergers & Acquisitions, SCHOTT
- Nikolai Üstündag, Senior Manager, WTS Advisory
Four perspectives from people who are running live deal processes, not just advising on them. The conversation will cover where AI is genuinely useful in transactions today, where it still needs a human hand, and how to think about the liability and quality questions that come with it.
Why this conversation matters
The debate around AI in M&A has moved on from whether to use it. The real questions now are about how, at which stages, with what oversight, and with what level of trust in the output. Those questions look different depending on whether you sit on the corporate side, in an advisory firm, or in a legal or tax function.
That is exactly why a panel like this, with practitioners from multiple vantage points, is more useful than a vendor presentation.
