Pierre-Henri Avalle

I joined Clearwater in 2016. Later on, after two and a half years in the mid-cap team, I spent 2 years in Singapore where I worked in a local M&A team covering the Asia-Pacific region. At the end of this enriching experience, I returned to the Clearwater team in Paris, happy to be back in a human-sized team of dynamic professionals, with a reputation for meeting clients’ goals and expectations. During these years, I was able to complete numerous transactions with both strategics and investment funds in Europe and Asia – in the healthcare and real estate sectors on the one hand, and in the leisure and new technology sectors on the other. I am a graduate of EDHEC Business School where I obtained a double degree Master in Management as well as Master of Science in Corporate Finance & Banking. Thanks to its international exposure and its agility Clearwater International allows me to build an international career in finance.
