A&G Real Estate Partners, a national real estate advisory firm specializing in real estate optimization, lease renegotiations, real estate sales and strategic real estate solutions, today announced that Senior Managing Director Alexandra Graiser has been honored by two prestigious awards programs: The M&A Advisor’s 17th Annual Emerging Leaders Awards and Global M&A Network’s Americas Rising Star Dealmaker Awards.
Graiser, who joined A&G in 2018 from FTI Consulting where she began her career in corporate finance and restructuring, has led advisory efforts on some of the nation’s most high-profile retail cases including Sleep Number, Party City, Chico’s FAS, Destination Maternity, Stage Stores, GNC, Rite Aid, Equinox, Blink Fitness and SoulCycle. In addition to her work with retailers, Graiser has been expanding A&G’s growing practice in healthcare real estate, advising health systems on portfolio optimization and occupancy cost reduction as the sector navigates increasing cost pressures and a rapid shift toward outpatient care delivery.
“Alexandra is an excellent representation of the caliber of expertise A&G can offer, which translates directly into better outcomes for our clients,” said Emilio Amendola, Co-President of A&G Real Estate Partners. “In an industry shifting toward strategic advisory and relationship-building as valuable differentiators, investments in people like her who exemplify this approach and deliver high-quality client service are what separate our firm in a competitive market. We couldn’t be more proud of Alexandra’s accomplishments and look forward to her continued contributions for years to come.”
The M&A Advisor is the global leader in connecting, recognizing, and informing professionals in M&A, restructuring and corporate finance. The 2026 Emerging Leaders Award honors accomplished professionals under the age of 40 who are shaping the future of dealmaking through innovation, leadership, and meaningful contributions to their industries and communities.
Graiser and the other 2026 honorees will be formally recognized by The M&A Advisor during its Leadership in Dealmaking Summit, taking place September 14 and 15 in New York City. The summit will bring together influential professionals, past honorees and industry leaders for two days of networking, leadership discussions and market insights. Winners will benefit from participation in a program that fosters mentorship and professional development, and will be included in a network of future leaders in M&A and restructuring.
Global M&A Network is a diversified media company and exclusive publisher of the popular “Top Dealmakers” lists. The 2026 Americas Rising Star Dealmaker Award recognizes brilliant and exceptional young dealmakers from the North and South American private equity, growth investing, lending, M&A and restructuring transactional communities for their achievements, dedication and talents for closing value-creating transactions. Winners of the award were recognized at the 8th Annual Winners Recognition Ceremony on July 23 at the Metropolitan Club in New York City, where honorees received a custom trophy.
Graiser commented, “I’m honored to be recognized alongside such accomplished dealmakers and am grateful to the clients and colleagues whose trust and collaboration made these awards possible. Real estate is often one of the largest and most inflexible costs on a company’s income statement, and getting the strategy right can be genuinely transformative whether a client is planning for long-term efficiency or navigating a distressed scenario.”
