David Weavers

I’ve worked in M&A my entire 23-year career, with experience in the Big 4 (Deloitte Corporate Finance), Investment Banking (Rothschild) and now Clearwater, since 2017. I have broad and deep experience advising owner-managers, private equity investors, and PLCs. I lead the UK healthcare sector team which advises companies across all areas of Healthcare, Medical Equipment and Devices, and Pharma/Life Sciences.

Gareth Iley

I have worked in mergers and acquisitions since I qualified as an accountant. I was a founding employee of Clearwater in 2003, after I had spent time in both transaction due diligence and advising businesses on floating on the UK stock market. Since we formed Clearwater, I have focussed on advising businesses on selling to international trade buyers or private equity funds, especially within the consumer sector. In 2022, I joined the UK board and took responsibility for all aspects of the operations of the UK business.

Ralf Hermann

I have dedicated my entire professional career to successful corporate finance projects: M&A on the one hand, and sales of complex commercial property on the other. I have also managed various major corporate restructurings. My projects focus on the property and ancillary construction sectors, the transport and logistics sector, the food sector and industrial companies. As a partner at Clearwater Switzerland, I work on mandates for family-owned companies and listed mid-caps - always with the aim of achieving enthusiastic client feedback. During my professional career, I co-founded the Corporate Finance and M&A division of the Helbling Group, Switzerland's largest independent engineering and management consultancy. Subsequently, I co-founded Zetra International AG, a corporate finance boutique, which over time developed into one of the leading medium-sized M&A firms in Switzerland, with particular strength in complex transactions. I completed my university education at the University of St. Gallen with a Master's degree in Finance and Accounting, followed by a doctorate in Business Administration. I am a hard worker and value deep and often international friendships.

Sander de Goeijen

I joined Clearwater as an M&A Analyst in the autumn of 2022. Prior to this, I spent just over three years at Schuiteman M&A - Corporate Finance, where I worked on transactions in the mid-market. I obtained a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration with a specialisation in finance and financial management at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. After obtaining my bachelor's degree, I completed an internship related to M&A. Following this internship, I completed the master's Duisenberg Honours Programme Corporate Finance, also at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam.

Gregory Cornes

I have spent my career working in mid-market M&A advising founders, management teams and private equity. I joined Clearwater in 2017 and am currently an Associate Director in the UK Consumer team, based in the London office.

Louise Hooper

I joined Clearwater over nine years ago and am currently part of our deal team working primarily on growth transactions. I’ve advised on a range of both trade and PE deals, across a number of sectors including Healthcare, Consumer, Business Services, and Industrials.

Sarah Taylor

I am a Business Services Partner at Clearwater and lead the Midlands team. I have been transacting in deals for nearly 30 years, focused on advising entrepreneurs, founders, and private equity clients. Since joining Clearwater in 2021, I have developed specific expertise in the professional services sector.

Miquel Martí

I lead our international private equity service team at Clearwater International and I am a member of the international consumer and food & beverage sector teams. The consumer and the food & beverage sectors have been my focus for over 25 years, during which I have had international executive positions in several multinational corporates, in a global private equity firm and a partner role at Clearwater International, since its formation in 2014. With experience of being on both sides of a transaction, this allows me to have a hands-on approach to deal making and a good understanding of the strategic challenges mid-size companies face today. Furthermore, I use my knowledge of the private equity space to make connections and to create value for family-owned companies and management teams in need of a dynamic partner that supports their business plans. I enjoy meeting business owners to discuss their strategic challenges, to understand their particular needs and working with them to find ways to achieve their objectives. What makes me especially proud is to look back on the deals I have helped complete and see that the goals of our clients were realised and significant value was created for their businesses.
