The list highlights the accomplishments of 10 outstanding individuals. Judged by the editorial teams of Secondaries Investor and affiliate title Private Equity International, scoring took place across four categories: the size and scope of nominees’ deals; the calibre of their firms; impressive displays of innovation or leadership; and whether or not the candidate displays the elusive X-factor.
