Featuring: Matt Beardall, Managing Director, Northeast and Southeast Segment Head, J.P. Morgan Commercial Banking

In this episode, Megan Seitchik, Middle Market Program Director at Barlow Research, speaks with Matt Beardall, Managing Director, Northeast and Southeast Segment Head, J.P. Morgan Commercial Banking, about a question at the center of growth for banks serving the middle market: What does it truly mean to be a trusted advisor, and how does that position enable bankers to deliver the full capabilities of the bank to their clients?

The discussion will also examine a critical, emerging dimension of this role: the impact of artificial intelligence, both as a growing area of client need and as a transformative force reshaping how bankers engage, advise, and create value.
