RISING DEALMAKER

A W A R D S

Thomas Delahaye
Vice President
Chiron Financial
What led you to a career in the deal-making industry?
It is a challenging industry, and it’s important to quickly understand the stakes, the players and their different interests. There’s a huge learning curve, particularly in developing a work ethic, a curiosity in analyzing many sectors and in improving technical skills including modeling business plans.
Memorable deal I worked on... why?
SMG; a publicly-traded oil field services provider which required debt financing for its acquisition. We guided the company through a highly-complicated financing that ultimately required five separate financing instruments.
Most enjoy about my career...
I enjoy the opportunity every day to work with brilliant people and to feel that our efforts will have a strong impact on the company we advise.
