Our annual Achievement Awards recognise excellence across Asia’s financial markets.
In addition to our regular Deal Awards, House Awards and Regional Deal Awards, this year we launched a new category to recognise individuals who have been instrumental in closing some of the region’s most ambitious deals -- the Dealmaker Poll.
Nominations were open to third-parties and recognises professional excellence across a spectrum of industry expertise. Votes were logged, and elegibility reviewed by the FinanceAsia team, before final numbers were tallied and the majority winners confirmed for publication.
Please find below a list of this year’s winners of the Dealmaker Poll category.
