Evaluation of the nominees and selection of the winners was completed by prominent members and experts in the M&A, finance, and turnaround communities.
“These award winners represent the best of the distressed investing and reorganization industry over the past year,” said Roger Aguinaldo, Founder of The M&A Advisor. “We are in an environment that has seen whole industries such as retail, restaurants, leisure, and hospitality experience depression-like effects. Despite it all, these professionals have helped companies during these difficult times. We recognize these leading transactions, firms, and individuals that represent the highest levels of performance.”
“We continue to be honored and humbled to be recognized again by The M&A Advisor for this prestigious award. The Homer Loughlin divestiture transaction presented a number of unique complications, including trying to complete a very complex transaction at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the end, it was perseverance and hard work of the entire deal teams on both sides that helped get this deal across the finish line,” said Al Melchiorre, President and Founder of MelCap Partners.
