Laurent Camilli

As a founding Partner of Clearwater France, I lead the international real estate team and the healthcare sector in France. Since the inception of the company I have completed over 80 transactions with clients who return to us time and time again, and not only rely on Clearwater for sound M&A advice, but trust us to take care of all their corporate issues. In line with the values of Clearwater, I’m very considerate of the needs of my clients, their targets and their environment in order to find solutions which exceed their expectations. I started my career at Vivendi (formerly Generale des Eaux) before setting up an advisory company (Auxiliaire de Finance) where I advised anglo-saxon funds in acquisitions of non-performing loan portfolios. I went on to join Close Brothers and developed the company as a MD and CEO. In 10 years, Close Brothers became a major player in the mid-market M&A segment with strong exposure in leisure, healthcare and real estate.

Acquisition modelling: elevating strategic conversations with a credible financial model

Giulia Dupuis

I joined the Debt Advisory team at Clearwater in October 2023 and focused on advising companies across a wide range of sectors as well as private equity firms on diverse financing projects. Prior to this, I worked for four years in the investment banking division of UniCredit as part of the Acquisition and Corporate Structured Finance team. I hold a Grande École degree (Master in Management) from ESCP Business School in Paris, and a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from the University of Rome, where I grew up. Outside of work, I enjoy immersing myself in modern art, savouring the diversity of French and Italian cuisine and wines or exploring new destinations around the world.

Emmanuel Xerri

I founded the Clearwater team in Marseilles over 20 years ago. The Mediterranean region has many up-and-coming businesses which we are ideally placed to advise given our close proximity. I started my career in the corporate finance department of PwC and then joined EY. Following this I co-developed the activities of Edmond de Rothschild in Marseille for five years. Over the years, I have supported small and medium-sized companies that have sometimes become large corporations. The diversity of the transactions I have advised on makes me a generalist, or rather a multi-specialist across various sectors including business services, healthcare, industrials, specialised distribution, and TMT. More recently, I advised on the various build-up operations as well as the primary and secondary LBOs of the Cogepart Group, the French leader in last mile delivery. I also advised Hôpital Privée La Casamance on the merger with the Almaviva group and the entry of FrenchFood Capital into Markal, a major player in the organic food sector. Today, Clearwater International is ideally positioned to accompany clients through the increasingly rapid changes in the market, remaining adaptable and utilising our sector specialists in both our French and international teams to meet client goals.

I joined Clearwater in 2022, having held a number of talent, L&D, and generalist HR roles, both in the UK and globally. As International Talent Director, my role is focused on ensuring the business provides outstanding career development opportunities and continues to be a great place to work. We hold inclusion, diversity, equity, belonging, and the well-being of colleagues at our core.
