Houston, February 15, 2018 - The Association for Corporate Growth (ACG) Houston proudly announced the Deal of the Year winners at the inaugural awards ceremony on Tuesday, February 13 at River Oaks Country Club. ACG Houston's event celebrated Houston's booming middle-market deal community, honoring the deals and dealmakers who drive middle market growth and their success in generating job growth, capital formation and the advancement of meaningful business relationships in the Houston community.
The finalists and winners were selected by an independent panel of esteemed judges and top business leaders including Carin Barth, Co-Founder and President of LB Capital Inc., Eric Bruce, Vice President and CFO of EagleRidge Energy, Mitch Cox, Partner at Turnbridge, Bud Giesinger, Director at Newfield Exploration Company, Mitch Cox, Founder of Pine Brook Partners, A. Kelly Williams, Managing Director at Aztec USA and Nadine C. Smith, Founder and Managing Partner, SRQ Capital.
Criteria for the nominations included a closing date between October 1, 2016 and September 30, 2017 with transactions that have a tie to the Greater Houston area (e.g. where the buyer, seller or assets were located). Nomination criteria also included details such as transaction value range, industry focus and type of transaction as well as anecdotal commentary on what makes the deal unique. The judges evaluated deals based on the parties' submissions as well as the overall story, economic and strategic impact to the Houston community, stakeholder value and professional expertise required in executing the transaction.
"We are excited to finally bring to Houston a forum where we can recognize and celebrate the top business leaders in Houston," said Steve Tredennick, Event Chair and Partner at Paul Hastings. "I was very impressed by the quality of the activity in the Houston marketplace evidenced in our more than 40 nominations. The finalists identified by our panel reflect the best of Houston's very active and innovative deal community," continued Tredennick.
