Pierce Edwards Named Private Equity Investment Professional of the Year


May 18, 2021

At D CEO‘s 2021 Mergers & Acquisitions Awards, Pierce Edwards was named the Private Equity Investment Professional of the Year.

Edwards did not sit back after the pandemic caused deals to stall last year. He continued weekly conversations with key players to ensure that his firm would be well-positioned when the company was back in the market. For months, he diligently worked to do what he could to keep the deal in play, and in the end, he prevailed. The agreement is an excellent example of Edwards’ ability to build relationships—critical connections that often extend beyond the closing of deals. His knowledge and deep understanding of deal structuring and the due diligence process make him a primary resource, from origination through the closing process, as well as post-close on the operations and portfolio management side.
