VWR's Jim Rubbo Recognized by The M&A Advisor

The M&A Advisor created this event to promote mentorship and professional development amongst emerging business leaders. In its eighth year, the award celebrates leaders who have reached a significant level of success in the industry before the age of 40. Jim was selected as a winner of this award by an independent judging panel made up of distinguished business leaders.

"Jim has been with VWR for nearly 10 years and has made numerous contributions to our success in that time," said Greg Cowan, VWR's SVP and CFO. "Mergers and acquisitions is a key component of VWR's growth. Effective post-merger integration is essential to our ongoing success and Jim has supported the successful integration of 12 acquisitions in less than three years at VWR."

Founded in 1998, The M&A Advisor was the first dedicated media company to offer insights and intelligence on mergers and acquisitions. As the world's premier think tank and leadership organization for M&A, restructuring and corporate finance professionals, the firm provides a range of integrated services.
