PEI’s Future 40 list: Submit your nominations

Private Equity International is pleased to announce that nominations are open for its annual rising stars of private equity list. PEI’s 40 under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity list will be published online and in our Future of Private Equity Special in May 2023.

The deadline for submissions has been extended to end of day Tuesday 14 February 2023 and nominations can be submitted here.

The list will feature individuals across five categories:

  • Investors (LP)
  • Fundraisers
  • Dealmakers
  • Lawyers
  • Operators

Please note the list is 40 in total, not per category.

To be eligible, nominees should be under the age of 40 on 1 May 2023. Nominees should not have appeared in any previous PEI Future 40 list.

PEI’s senior editorial team will decide the list based on three criteria:

  • Evidence of leadership and innovation;
  • The calibre of the firms/clients they have worked with and any deals they have generated;
  • Whether they possess an X factor that marks them out as a future leader in private equity.
