are for the advisory community around the world. Many thanks to EY
for supporting this highly anticipated annual event."
In addition to Callaway, ringing the closing bell will be

Now in its second year, Better begins with you recognizes
individuals and teams who have contributed to EY's purpose of
building a better working world in inspiring and impactful ways.
"Better begins with you is a terrific way to shine a light
on those who are leading by example - bringing our purpose to life
through action and deed," said Michael J.
Inserra, EY Americas Deputy Managing Partner. "Watching our
people harness the power of our collective skills to build a better
working world for our clients and communities is highly rewarding
and I am proud to stand beside them – acknowledging all they have
achieved - on this global stage today."
"The complexity of an increasingly global economy, the
unpredictable nature of events that can impact our markets and the
rapid pace of change business leaders must continue to navigate are
factors always being considered by our client serving teams," said
William M. Casey, EY Americas Vice
Chair, Transaction Advisory Services. "I am thrilled to recognize
the folks standing beside us today, who have combined their
business acumen with humanity and purpose to further our efforts to
build a better working world."

deal sizes and sectors – will provide a comprehensive look at
successful dealmaking across the economic spectrum.
"It has been a tremendously challenging year for corporate
dealmakers. In an M&A environment that's being shaped by tough
regulation and large, highly complex deals, we're pleased to be
honoring these teams for their outstanding work on these
transactions," said Tara Murphy, Editor-in-Chief
