Citrin Cooperman is delighted to recognize Sylvie Gadant as the recipient of the iGlobal Forum 2026 “Independent Sponsor Lifetime Achievement Award,” a testament to her years of thought leadership, outstanding service, and steadfast dedication to the independent sponsor community. Sylvie leads Citrin Cooperman’s Transaction Advisory Services Practice and the Independent Sponsor team. With over two decades of experience, she has guided private equity firms, independent sponsors, strategic buyers, and business owners on more than 700 transactions.

She is the founder of the industry-leading Independent Sponsor Survey, launched in September 2017. As the first survey of its kind, it has grown into an essential resource for market insights and trends within the independent sponsor sector. These reports have significantly influenced greater acceptance of independent sponsors over the past ten years, helping to define the model as a distinct asset class. In this period, Citrin Cooperman has also established itself as one of the most prominent professional services firms in the country for independent sponsors.

Congratulations to Sylvie on this outstanding and well‑deserved recognition. This video captures why her vision, expertise, and leadership have become such a driving force in elevating the independent sponsor community.
