NEW YORK, Aug. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Deal, a
business unit of TheStreet (NASDAQ: TST), today announced
the nominees for its 10th Annual Most Admired Corporate
Dealmakers (MACD) Awards. The awards ceremony will be held during
The Deal Economy Conference on November 30th, 2017 at the JW Marriott
Essex House in New York.
Now in their tenth year, the awards recognize the best of the
best of corporate development teams. Past winners include the
dealmakers from Google, Home Depot, and Under
Armor.
"This year's Most Admired Corporate Dealmakers reflect the
vision and discipline necessary to execute M&A and other types
of deals in an environment characterized by extreme political
uncertainty and high valuations," said Ronald Fink, Deputy Managing Editor of The Deal.
"Congratulations to all of the nominees!"
The award process starts by scrutinizing the 10 biggest
transactions of 2017 in each of nine sectors. The Deal's newsroom
then interviews analysts, bankers and other experts to determine
the five nominees behind those deals – and others – that are
considered the most significant and potentially successful in terms
of strategic vision and shareholder returns. Winners are chosen by
