2026 October Young ACG Columbus Luncheon

Join Young ACG Columbus for a fireside chat with Bruce Lazear, Founding Partner of Lazear, moderated by Jake Harrah, Young ACG Committee Member and Director at Lazear.

Drawing on more than 40 years of experience as an entrepreneur, attorney, advisor, and dealmaker, Bruce will reflect on the career path that shaped his perspective, from his early years in tax and law to building and exiting businesses and ultimately founding and growing Lazear.

Throughout each chapter of his career, one theme has remained constant: a seat at the deal table. Bruce and Jake will explore the lessons learned along the way and the experiences that have shaped Bruce’s approach to business, leadership, and decision making.

Attendees will hear candid insights on entrepreneurship, calculated risk taking, negotiation, navigating successes and setbacks, and the advice Bruce would offer the next generation of business leaders and dealmakers.
