The M&A Advisor was founded in 1998 to offer insights and intelligence on M&A activities. Over the past years we have established the premier global network of M&A, Turnaround and Finance professionals. Today, we recognize the achievements of, and facilitate connections between the industry’s top performers worldwide.
The M&A Advisor introduced the Lifetime Achievement and Leadership Awards program and established the M&A Advisor Hall of Fame to recognize extraordinary industry stalwarts. Selected by a committee of industry experts, the award recipients are judged on their individual accomplishments, the contribution they have made to their firm and its employees and the lasting benefits that they have brought to their profession at large.
