The M&A Advisor is proud to unveil the winners of the 16th Annual Emerging Leaders Awards — a distinguished group of rising stars shaping the future of mergers and acquisitions, restructuring, and corporate finance.
In a field where strategic insight and trusted networks define long-term success, this year’s award recipients are doing more than making deals — they’re redefining leadership.
“These professionals have not only risen to today’s challenges but are actively shaping tomorrow’s opportunities,” said Roger Aguinaldo, Founder and CEO of The M&A Advisor. “They join a global community of peers making a lasting impact on the industry.”
Award winners were selected by an independent judging panel for their innovation, leadership, and community contribution. The recognition culminates at the 2025 Leadership in Dealmaking Summit, held September 15 & 16, 2025 in New York City — a gathering of industry leaders, past honorees, and new voices driving meaningful change.
