Onno de Groot

I joined Clearwater in 2023 as Partner, bringing over 16 years of corporate finance and M&A experience, as well as a wide network and strong sector knowledge in the fields of consumer, retail, food, agriculture, and industrials, to further enhance Clearwater’s advisory proposition. During my career, I have advised clients on a broad range of transactions, including buy and sell-side assignments, corporate carve-outs and leveraged buy-outs, both domestic and cross-border, along with equity and debt capital raises. To date, I have completed over 50 M&A transactions with a combined deal value exceeding €5bn. My core focus is to spearhead Clearwater’s coverage in the Netherlands within the consumer, food & beverage and industrials sectors, while being actively involved in the firm’s private equity coverage. Prior to Clearwater, I was Director at PwC Corporate Finance, where I led the Consumer & Retail corporate finance team in the Netherlands.

I joined Clearwater in December 2018 to lead M&A advisory within healthcare and life sciences technology and specialist services - including life science commercialisation services, e-clinical solutions, healthcare IT, software and IP driven consultancies. My 21 year career has traversed investment banks, Big Four firms and M&A boutiques and I joined Clearwater for its truly international team, passion for high quality client service, culture and dynamism. I have spent 16 years in M&A advisory, in the UK and the US, and advised on over 40 transactions across the sell- side, buy-side, owner-managed businesses, large corporates, private equity and public to private transactions. I have also provided extensive Board level advice both pre- and post-deal processes. The healthcare and life science industry, and its increasing technology enablement, has been my main focus throughout. Deals I have advised on include the sales of Age UK’s telecare business to Axa PPP Healthcare, Medaxial to Covance, Abacus International to Decision Resources Group and Synergy to DDB, Omnicom. I have previously held roles at Deloitte, Results International, Nomura, Royal Bank of Canada and Ernst & Young.
