Institutional Investor News’ inaugural issue of 10 Rising Stars in Securitization showcases up-and-coming executives in the securitization arena, with the featured individuals representing all segments of the marketplace – including origination and structuring, fund management, marketing, technology, legal and regulatory – and hailing from companies around the globe. These individuals are poised to shape the securitization market in the years to come.

Nominees are submitted by professionals throughout the securitization industry and are vetted and selected by our editorial staff. The selected individuals meet the criteria of having demonstrated expertise, dedication and consistency in their careers, indicating they will likely be the trendsetters of the future. Our winning nominees have worked on some of the biggest deals to hit the securitization marketplace in the past several years and devised some of the most innovative structures yet to be seen. They’re all weathering the current market turmoil and are generally optimistic about the future. Other noteworthy points about our Rising Stars:

• Only one holds an M.B.A, while 40% have a J.D. or equivalent;
• 40% work in New York and 30% work in London, with one each in Washington, D.C., Singapore and Hong Kong;
• 40% joined their current firm just last year, and 20% have worked for their firm for more than 10 years;
• 70% named their current boss as a mentor;
• Their average age is 36 (the youngest being 32 and the eldest being 41).

Selecting the final 10 Rising Stars was a difficult task, as many outstanding individuals were nominated. We would like to thank the nominees and those who nominated them for making this list possible, and we look forward to charting the professional progress of our Rising Stars in the years to come.

So, without further ado, here are our Rising Stars, listed alphabetically by surname.
