What makes an M&A leader?

The awards honor exceptional M&A practitioners who stand out and make significant contributions to their organizations and to the industry. The winners are leaders who cultivate the next generation of M&A professionals, encourage knowledge sharing, and inspire best practices, and in doing so, strengthen the M&A community.  

In addition to the 10 honorees, Michael Frankel was awarded the 2021 M&A Leader of the Year.

These awards are sponsored by M&A Science, a platform to share knowledge and identify proven techniques. M&A Science comes in three mediums: a podcast, virtual summits, and an online academy. We crowdsource from 100+ M&A practitioners and use the knowledge gathered to build the foundation for all our offerings.
