Carnoy Named a “Top Banker Under 40”
Lisa Landau Carnoy ’89 was named a top banker under the age of 40 in
the November issue of Investment Dealer’s Digest. In the article “Forty
Under Forty,” Carnoy, a managing director and co-head of Equity Capital Markets Americas
for Merrill Lynch, was noted for her work with GE when it tapped Merrill as sole global bookrunner
for the $2.6 million sale of its stake in Genworth last year. Carnoy specializes in the insurance
and healthcare industries.
The article said of Carnoy, “Merrill plucked
Carnoy from the Harvard [Business School] program upon graduation
in 1994, and just a decade later, she was appointed co-head of the
team … During this time, her industry has changed drastically,
and Carnoy, who got her B.A. in history, appears to have the tendency
to connect the dots and get ahead of trends. In a conversation two
years ago with IDD, Carnoy predicted how much more involved financial
sponsors would become in the equity capital markets, hitting the
nail on the head.”
Carnoy has been selected by the College as a 2007
John Jay Award recipient; she will be honored, with four other alumni,
on Thursday, March 1 [see Around the Quads].
