Stax is proud to announce that Paul Edwards, Global Practice Lead, has been named one of The Consulting Report’s Top 25 M&A Leaders of 2025.

 

As noted in their announcement, “From early-stage diligence to post-close integration, this year’s awardees are navigating an increasingly high-stakes landscape—one where operational precision, cultural alignment, and regulatory fluency are just as vital as financial modeling. These professionals represent the sharp edge of this transformation. They do more than help clients close deals, they’re helping them realize their full value across complex, global, and fast-moving environments.”


Over the past two decades, Paul has become a trusted advisor to many of the world’s top dealmakers. He has built Stax’s private equity practice into a global powerhouse, now supporting more than 300 transactions annually and guiding successful investments across five continents.


Throughout his career, Paul has led over 1,000 engagements for private equity sponsors, spanning buy- and sell-side diligence and growth strategy, and advising on over $100 billion of deal value. Known for blending sharp, data-driven analysis with real-world insight, he brings deep sector expertise in software and industrials.


Congratulations, Paul!
