In an economy driven by market sentiment, it's easy to lose focus. That's exactly what de Sequeira and her team have not done. In the past year, Morgan Stanley executed 11 cross-border deals, four more than the year before. Among the noteworthy deals are the sale of Senvion by Suzlon to Centerbridge Capital Partners for $1.1 billion, sale of Destimoney to the Carlyle Group, a $1 billion international bond for Reliance, a $500 million bond for Jaguar Land Rover, and the $2.3 billion merger of Vedanta and Cairn India. Apart from spearheading big deals, de Sequeira aims to mentor younger women in business.
