Executive Decisions with Steve Sedgwick

Steve Sedgwick

Booking Overview

This is an executive-leadership interview series focused on consequential decisions, risk, uncertainty and the careers of prominent business leaders, with recurring guests who are CEOs, founders and senior financial executives. PR agencies could credibly pitch sitting CEOs, major-company founders, prominent investors and policymakers with substantial leadership decisions or transformations to discuss, but booking is very difficult because the show targets highly accomplished, high-profile decision-makers.
