We’re delighted to share that Pottinger won M&A Advisor’s “Financing of the Year” for a ground-breaking recent assignment in the renewable energy sector. Fittingly, the awards will be presented in Manhattan during New York Climate Week. The deal in question was the investment by Aware Super to form a distributed energy investment platform with Birdwood Energy. With an initial commitment of A$300m, and an objective to deploy A$2bn or more of equity in the relatively near term, this should deliver several gigawatts of renewable energy generation. Though commercial fundamentals and smart structuring are always important to getting good deals done, what matters most is always the people. Many congratulations to the brilliant teams at Birdwood Energy and Aware Super – and to the legal advisors at Hamilton Locke and Allens Linklaters - and of course John Sheehy, Rodrigo Arias López and Vedant Rampal... and the wider Pottinger team! The world of investment banking is frenetic and it is all too easy to race on to the next assignment without spending much time reflecting on what has been achieved. So we also wanted to take a moment to celebrate some of the winners in other categories, including: Investment banks: Bank of America, Commerzbank AG, Goldman Sachs, Houlihan Lokey, RBC, Morgan Stanley, Nomura Investors: Bain Capital, IFM Investors, Nuveen, a TIAA company … and many, many more! Further details and links to the full list of winners in Cassandra Kelly AM's post below. #Mergers #Acquisitions #Renewables #Energy #Impact #Team #Leadership #Awards #Australia #NewYork https://lnkd.in/gqxrCACu

I am increasingly passionate about advocating for Entrepreneur Mental Health. To reignite valuable conversations and learnings, I am reposting a fun video montage from the inspiring 2023 QED Global Summit. This event featured two days of presentations and discussions with some of the best minds in fintech. QED Investors demonstrated its commitment to prioritizing the well-being of CEOs and their teams by inviting me to lead a session on mental health education and to facilitate genuine discussions about the stressors they face.  The summit culminated in a powerful message: "We want you to feel supported by us and to create cultures where mental health conversations are welcomed." My vision is for more conferences to create space for authenticity, enabling individuals to share struggles, resources, and uplift one another.  As an Executive Coach with a background in clinical therapy, I see the urgent need to shift the paradigm so that mental health is no longer stigmatized or concealed. It should be seen as a shared responsibility, rather than an issue to be tackled alone. There is vast potential in expanding the support network available to founders, both from VC partners and from within their own community.  I will continue to advocate for this cause and guide my clients to recognize the link between performance, productivity, self-awareness, and well-being. As I collaborate with exceptional founders from around the world, I am more committed than ever to expanding the avenues of support for this community of innovative leaders.
