FinanceAsia Achievement Awards 2024: Dealmaker Poll winners

Read on to find out the winners of our Dealmaker Poll 2024.

November 22, 2024

FinanceAsia's annual Achievement Awards recognise excellence across Asia’s financial markets. 

In addition to our regular Deal Awards and House Awards, last 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.
