Eva Davis Named in Mergers & Acquisitions 2020 Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A

Eva Davis was named to Mergers & Acquisitions 2020 Most Influential Women in Mid-Market M&A list, which honors the community of leading women dealmakers in the middle market. The annual list highlights women who are outstanding role models both inside and outside their firms and have influence in the broader M&A industry.

On how she is influencing the industry, Eva responded, “Together with one of my partners, I spearheaded Winston's first annual Capital Connection event, which brought together 25 sell-side investment banks located in Los Angeles with 25 private equity fund clients with offices outside of LA for ‘one-on-one’ meetings to facilitate future dealmaking.”

She is also driving change, “I encouraged two male associates who work on my primary deal team to take full parental leave (20 weeks and at the same time!). This took a lot of extra effort to seamlessly service our clients during this period. While the primary purpose of this gender-neutral policy is to attract and retain the most talented men and women, another benefit is to support gender-neutral staffing. Partners should be indifferent about staffing a man or a woman, as either is equally as likely to take an extended leave during a deal.”
