2023 PEI 40 Under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity Award (awarded on May 1, 2023). The 2023 PEI 40 Under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity list is awarded by Private Equity International, an independent, third party that is not affiliated with PSG. Over 200 nominations were reviewed and independently assessed by PEI based on their written responses to questions on PEI’s nomination form. To be eligible, nominees must be under the age of 40 on May 1, 2023 and should not have appeared in any previous PEI 40 Under 40: Future Leaders of Private Equity list. The list was decided based on three criteria: evidence of leadership and innovation; the caliber of the firms/clients nominees have worked with and any deals they have generated; and whether nominees possess an X factor that marks them out as a future leader in private equity. PEI’s recognition was not based on the evaluations of clients or investors of PSG. There was no fee to apply, and PSG applied to receive the award with assistance from Prosek LLC. Nominees were not required to be subscribers to PEI to be considered.
