The prize was awarded to Showroomprivé's co-CEOs Thierry Petit and David Dayan by Philippe Kubisa, Partner at PWC during Euronext Paris' Annual Stock Market Conference (Conférence annuelle du marché boursier) on January 19th, 2016.
The panel, which was composed of six independent experts, recognized Showroomprivé's IPO on October 30th as the best of the year in 2015.
