"Financial transparency" is my hobbyhorse. I have been providing financial support to companies from various sectors for more than 20 years: in the area of M&A, particularly with regard to fit for sale and due diligence; in the area of restructuring in the development and implementation of solutions with maximum benefit for all parties involved. After studying business administration, I gained many years of practical experience and knowledge in advising our clients as CFO (medium-sized companies) and controller (internationally active plant and mechanical engineering company). I have been with ZETRA AG (corporate finance consulting) since 2002 and with Clearwater since 2023.

Norbert-Markus Roth

I support the German-speaking countries of Clearwater as a Senior Adviser and together with our debt advisory team, I advise medium-sized companies and groups on a variety of financing issues and accompany them throughout the transaction process. Before joining Clearwater, I was Head of Origination Corporate Finance / Equity Capital Markets at Commerzbank AG having joined in 1999. At Commerzbank AG I advised on transactions with a focus on mid and large-cap companies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. I started my career as a Security Trader at FSE and continued as Head of Syndicate at DZ Bank AG responsible for mid-cap transactions. As a corporate finance expert, I specialise in advising IPOs, capital raising, secondary offerings, spin-offs, private equity buy-outs and debt advisory.

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.

Oleg Artjuschkin

I joined Clearwater in August 2021. My focus is on the Automotive & Mobility sector, but I also support our team in other sectors. Clearwater offers exciting challenges every day, each client has different needs, which makes each project unique. Together with our local and international teams, we always find tailored solutions to achieve the best possible results for all involved parties. The exchange with our international offices is particularly interesting in the context of our cross-border transactions. Outside of work, I enjoy sports, whether snowboarding in the mountains or on the golf course. I am a big fan of Indian cuisine and like to educate myself in the areas of technology and programming.

Clearwater outperforms in 2023 and expects improving conditions and growth in 2024

Jérémy Sartre

I began my career in M&A advisory at SGCIB and Barclays Capital where I worked on generalist jumbo deals such as Arcelor / Mittal or GDF / Suez. In 2012, I co-founded an AdTech startup and exited to a strategic industrial player, before joining SmartAngels as COO. SmartAngels is a leading European crowdequity platform where I supervised over 60 funding rounds including seed, Series A and Series B. More recently, I had the opportunity to advise on several M&A deals such as Voodoo in gaming, Nexity in proptech, Adecco in HR tech and Kiute in SaaS B2B. By leveraging my previous experiences in Investment Banking and as a former tech entrepreneur, my natural focus is always customer centric. Benefiting from Clearwater’s notoriety and reputation for excellence, we aim at delivering top-notch and personalised advisory services to entrepreneurs and shareholders, adapted to the specific framework of tech dynamics. I graduated from HEC in 2005 with a Master’s in Economics and Finance.
