Skyway Capital Partners was named a finalist for this year’s M&A Advisor Awards in three categories for deals ranging from $25 million to $100 million, including M&A Deal of the Year ($50 million to $75 million).

The nominations acknowledge Skyway’s work on the acquisition of InStep Software by Schneider Electric. The partnership brought together InStep’s sophisticated Big Data management and predictive analytics software solutions with Schneider’s market expertise and scale and helps solidify Schneider’s strategic position in the rapidly growing Industrial Big Data and Internet of Things market segments.

“We’re thrilled to see InStep’s success recognized as a leading deal of the year and pleased to be included among this year’s list of finalists,” said Bryan Crino, managing director of Skyway Capital Partners.
The winners across all nine categories will be announced at the 14th Annual M&A Advisor Awards Gala on Tuesday, November 17th at the New York Athletic Club.

“While our industry has undergone significant transformation since our first awards were presented 13 years ago, we are convinced, more than ever before, that M&A is a driving force of the economy,” said David Fergusson, president and Co-CEO of the M&A Advisor. “It is truly an honor for our firm to be able to recognize the contribution that the 2015 award finalists have made.”
