The Drawdown Awards: Operational Leaders
The Drawdown Awards Operational Leaders recognises 25 exceptional professionals working behind the scenes at GP firms across Europe.
These are the CFOs, COOs, finance directors, technology heads, compliance officers, legal counsel, and HR leaders who drive operational excellence, solve complex challenges, and raise standards across the private capital industry.
Selected by The Drawdown's editorial team, these individuals will be profiled in the publication and across The Drawdown website, and celebrated for their contribution to making European private equity operations run brilliantly.
2026 winners will be announced at the awards ceremony on 23 June at the London Marriott Hotel Grosvenor Square.
