Søren Nørbjerg

Jeg har arbejdet med M&A siden 1990’erne, hvor disciplinen stadig var i sin spæde start og har været med hele vejen på Clearwaters rejse  fra en lille start-up til den position, vi har i dag. De mange års rådgivning har lært mig, at ikke to transaktioner er ens, og at det derfor er helt afgørende at sætte sig ind i vores kunders virkelighed for at forstå deres virksomhed og deres visioner for fremtiden. Ved siden af min rolle i Clearwater dyrker jeg min store passion for vin som medejer og daglig leder af en vingård i Bourgogne.

I’m an experienced M&A Director based out of the Leeds office. I joined Clearwater in 2020, as a founding member of the Leeds team and have played an important role in growing the team as well as establishing Clearwater Leeds as a leading adviser in the region. I have 19 years of M&A experience, advising clients on all types of transactions including, minority and majority PE investments and sales to strategic trade as well as working on the buy-side for both private equity and trade acquirers. I am a calm and level-headed adviser and take great pride in delivering exceptional outcomes for clients. Outside of work, I am a father to two teenage girls, a keen golfer, general sports fan, and enjoy going skiing once a year with my family.

Grégoire Houëdry

I am currently an Associate Director at Clearwater having joined in 2018 as an Analyst. I have been involved in transactions across the healthcare and business services sectors, most notably advising on the sales of France Thermes and Crèches de France. Clearwater creates a challenging and demanding environment which allows me to push myself every day alongside experienced professionals. Working in M&A is particularly exciting work with the opportunity to help clients in strategic decisions and to participate in their economic growth. I graduated from Université Paris-Dauphine with a major in Corporate Finance and Financial Engineering.

I am the Managing Partner of Clearwater International’s Irish business. As founders of this business, John Curtin and I joined up with Clearwater in October 2015 having traded as a boutique brand known as Core Corporate Finance over the previous year. Prior to this, I was Managing Director at Key Capital Corporate Finance in Dublin, where I worked for eight years. I have 21 years’ experience as a corporate finance professional having originally qualified as a chartered accountant with PwC in 1997. At Clearwater, I lead our food & beverage team internationally. Our team in Ireland covers all sectors with a particular focus on food & beverage, TMT, industrials & chemicals and business services. The deals I am most proud of are the sale of IT services business, Version1, where we advised the shareholders on the company’s sale to private equity firm, Volpi Capital in a €90m MBO, followed recently by the sale of telecommunications engineering business, KN Group to French-based Circet. Since joining Clearwater, I try to lead by example and inspire our team to drive for excellence and high performance in everything we do. The strong results-oriented and personalised culture of our firm helps both retain and attract great talent. I enjoy working with highly ambitious entrepreneurs who are looking to develop their business internationally and use my experience gained over the past 21 years in navigating the optimal M&A process to help achieve their goals. I have completed eleven transactions over the past three years at Clearwater with a combined deal value of c. €1bn.
