I joined the Marseille team in 2014 after having worked first in strategy consulting at Booz Allen & Hamilton, then in operational functions in various environments including the automotive industry at PSA Peugeot Citroën, cell phone distribution at Avenir Telecom, and finally the banking sector at Société Marseillaise de Crédit. I have participated in several sale and external growth processes across a variety of sectors. In the healthcare sector, I advised on the sale of Hôpital Privé La Casamance to the Almaviva Group, in the food & beverage sector I advised on the sale of Confit de Provence to French Gourmet Food, and in the industrials sector, I advised on the sale of PB Environnement to the Faun Environnement Group, and the acquisition of several transport companies by the Cogepart Group. The diverse range of transactions I have been able to work on over the last few years, the specificities inherent to each sector of activity, to each company and to each manager or shareholder, makes this job exciting. Understanding our clients' expectations, building, and implementing effective solutions adapted to each specific situation is particularly important to me and makes my daily work very stimulating. I am a graduate of ESCP Business School and have a Master's degree in Strategy and Marketing from the University of Paris Dauphine.

Dierk Rottmann

In my role as Co-Head of our Debt Advisory activities in the DACH region, together with my partner Dr. Heinrich Kerstien, I am responsible for advising medium-sized companies on all corporate finance issues. We are proud that leading international companies such as Trumpf, ZEISS, Symrise, Wieland, Infraserv, and enercity as well as many others have trusted us for many years and repeatedly rely on our experience and the added value of our advisory expertise. Furthermore, as International Head of Energy & Utilities, I have been advising companies from the energy industry on all M&A and financing issues for many years. In 2000, I co-founded the corporate finance consultancy @VISORY partners, which merged with Clearwater in early 2016. Previously I worked for Dresdner Kleinwort Wasserstein and Rothschild. I have an eye for design and detail and am an enthusiastic fan of turf sports - whether passively at Mainz05 or actively on the golf course.
