How selection works: Professionals are recognized based on deals attributed to their firm over the trailing 12 months, weighted by transaction value and MW capacity. One representative per firm ensures broad industry coverage. For international firms, we recognize the US or Americas head. C-suite and MD/Partner-level executives are attributed deals where their firm participated as a principal, counsel, advisor, or lender. The list refreshes monthly as deals enter and exit the window.

About deal attribution: Deals are attributed to individuals based on their role at a firm during the transaction period over the trailing 12 months. This is an algorithmic inference — not all attributed individuals necessarily worked directly on every deal. One person per firm is recognized. Selection reflects our database coverage, which focuses on U.S. clean energy transactions. If you believe your profile should be updated, contact us.
