Building on our long history of recognizing the best in private equity, Mergers & Acquisitions is now seeking nominations for the 2022 Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A. This marks the seventh annual edition.

To be considered, candidates must be women who are outstanding dealmakers both inside and outside of their firms. Evidence of influence in the broader M&A industry is essential. Championing innovation and inclusion are paramount.

We require candidates to provide written answers to several questions about their role within their firms and their impact on the dealmaking world. New this year: we’re asking candidates to explain how they are helping their firms achieve environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals, which have become increasingly important in the private equity industry.

NOMINATIONS MUST BE RECEIVED BY FRIDAY, DECEMBER 17, 2021. CLICK HERE TO SUBMIT.

Please consider these guidelines and rules:
* Nominations will be accepted only through the online form below. (We do not accept nominations via email.).
* Nominations must include participation from the candidate herself. The form includes detailed questions that must be answered by the candidate. (If you know someone you think would make a strong candidate, please encourage her to send us a nomination. You can also email us suggestions.)
* Please provide only information that we may publish. We do not accept confidential information on the nomination form.
