The Mergers & Acquisitions Podcast

Guus Greve spent years as head of M&A at Shell, so when he sits down with guests to talk about dealmaking, the questions come from someone who has actually run massive transactions. The show has about 21 episodes so far, which makes it a smaller catalog, but the quality per episode is genuinely high. Rated 5.0 on Apple Podcasts with 11 reviews, which says something about the audience it attracts. Episodes run about 28 to 35 minutes and focus on the human side of deals as much as the financial mechanics. Recent conversations have covered deal integration, relationship management during transactions, and even the resilience of dealmakers themselves. The guest list is impressive. You get people from Morgan Stanley discussing joint ventures, startup founders talking about scaling in Africa, and integration specialists explaining why most post-merger value gets lost. The show is sponsored by Pilko, a due diligence advisory firm, which keeps the content grounded in practical deal concerns. If you are a corporate development professional or an M&A advisor looking for thoughtful, well-structured conversations about what actually makes transactions succeed or fail, this one is worth your time.
