Choosing an M&A adviser

Per Surland

I joined Clearwater directly from university with my master's in Finance. I've learned the M&A craft from the ground up, having held every possible role in an M&A team. I've always found IT fascinating, and as the person responsible for our internal IT, I've had great success in rebooting various devices. My passion for IT led me to my role as Head of TMT in Denmark in 2014, and since then, I've completed over 35 Tech transactions. I've been a partner at Clearwater since 2009 and part of the international board since 2020.

With over 30 years’ experience as a Chartered Accountant in both practice and industry, I joined Clearwater in 2016, at an exciting time of the UK and International growth. It is very rewarding to be part of the continued development of the Clearwater business and work alongside such a team of talented people.

I am a deal leader at Clearwater International based in Porto, with 10 years’ experience working in corporate finance in a broad range of sectors. During this time I’ve been advising shareholders, management teams and institutional investors, completing remarkable sales, buy-outs, fundraises and strategic investments, among other transactions. I joined the firm in 2008 as an M&A analyst, and since then, I have seen the Portuguese office grow from a local M&A boutique to a truly integrated international company, that offers its clients combined global sector expertise and local knowledge, in handcrafted advisory services. Before Clearwater, I studied Economics at the Faculdade de Economia – Universidade do Porto (2008) and later, I completed a MSc in Management for the Creative Industries (2013) from Faculty of Economics and Management and School of Arts – Catholic University of Portugal. I also have experience in Not-for-Profit organisations, in educational and cultural sectors. With Clearwater I’ve had the opportunity to evolve from an Analyst to an Associate Director, leading projects from a sourcing stage to completion, by doing what really drives me in this industry: contributing positively towards business growth, creating value for entrepreneurs, and designing and delivering unique investment and development opportunities.
