Now in its fourth year, the awards celebrate emerging leaders in M&A and financing who have reached significant levels of success while still under the age of 40.

Mr. Sabic will be recognized during an October 1st awards gala at the New York Athletic Club in New York City. He was selected from a pool of prominent nominees for his accomplishments and leadership in the M&A field by an independent judging panel.
