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. I am a Chartered Accountant and hold a BSc in Economics from the London School of Economics.

I joined Clearwater International as an Analyst at the Stockholm office in the Spring of 2021. Before joining Clearwater, I worked for the Transaction Services team at Alvarez & Marsal for almost two years, where I advised on M&A deals for PE and strategic buyers/sellers in various industries. My sector strengths include power & utilities, SaaS, consulting services and retail. Parallel to my studies I also worked as CFO for two business groups, operating within facility management and the MedTech space. I hold a BSc in Business & Economics and an MSc in Accounting, Valuation and Financial Management from the Stockholm School of Economics. I also hold an MSc of Law from Stockholm University, with a specialisation in International Tax Law and Financial Market Law.

Marcus Archer

I have been a partner of Clearwater since 2008, and during that time have built a business services sector team, developed our sponsor coverage programme, substantially grown our London team and sat on the UK Board (as well as advising many clients on successful fundraises, exits or acquisitions!). I am still a keen tennis player, rapidly learning how to play padel, an average golfer and love any time I can spend scuba diving or on the ski slopes.
