“The Annual M&A Advisor Emerging Leaders Awards was born as the 40 Under 40 Awards in the United States in 2010 to recognize and celebrate the achievements of young M&A, Financing and Turnaround professionals who had reached a significant level of success and made a notable contribution to their industry and community,” said David Fergusson, President and Co-CEO of The M&A Advisor. “With the expansion of the Emerging Leaders program to the United Kingdom, and Europe earlier this year, the 2016 U.S. award winners join a truly global network of young leaders.”
The M&A Advisor will host a black tie awards gala at the New York Athletic Club in Manhattan on Friday, June 10. The event will introduce the Emerging Leaders Award Winners to the business community and celebrate their achievements.
