The Deal Table

Ryan Harper, Lane Carrick

Booking Overview

This is a long-form business interview show focused on mergers and acquisitions, private equity, capital, leadership, and ownership, typically featuring senior founders, operators, investors, executives, and advisors with substantial real-world deal or operating experience. Agencies could credibly pitch accomplished business founders, C-suite executives, private equity professionals, M&A advisors, governance experts, and authors with strong transaction, investment, or leadership credentials; booking difficulty is high because of the seniority and prominence of its guests.
