NEW ORLEANS – ACG Louisiana will host the 5th Annual ACG Cup competition in 2015 to forge closer relationships with the leading business schools in the region and to introduce the next generation of business leaders to the Association for Corporate Growth, the premier M&A, corporate growth and corporate development community.
The Louisiana ACG Cup Executive Committee is being led by Nene Gianfala (Chaffe & Associates) as Chair. The Executive Committee members include Les Alexander (Jefferson Capital Partners), Matt Miller (Baldwin, Haspel, Burke and Mayer) and Patrick Willis (Baker Donelson).
The ACG Cup is a case study competition designed to give students from leading MBA programs across the country real world experience and invaluable insights into mergers and acquisitions, investment banking, financial advisory and private equity. Each case study provides students with a unique opportunity to present valuation, capital markets and M&A strategic advice to a panel of seasoned M&A professionals from within the ACG community. The competition is carried out through a series of intra-school and Chapter competitions, with Chapter winners awarded the prestigious ACG Cup title and cash awards.
