My professional career has been symbiotic with Clearwater in Portugal: I joined the firm in 2008 as a trainee and have grown with the company for the last 15 years. From an intern at a local Corporate Finance firm to a Director at a specialized European M&A Advisory boutique, I've had the chance to participate in and lead a wide range of projects across all sectors. I'm enthusiastic about creative businesses, tech innovation, and healthcare breakthroughs, but, above all, my ultimate goal is to support exceptional individuals and teams in realizing remarkable achievements.

Francisco Gómez

I am a Partner at Clearwater International Spain and represent the Spanish and Portuguese offices on the Clearwater International Board. Operating from Madrid, I lead our Spanish industrials practice, where I specialise in B2B businesses. My focus is in the chemicals and agribusiness sub-sectors, as well as ingredients for human food, animal health and plant health. Before joining Clearwater Spain, I worked as Corporate Finance Manager at Granville Baird Investment Banking. I also held the positions of Manager for Corporate Finance in Spain, Financial Consulting Director and Manager for the valuations department at Deloitte in Madrid and London. During that time, I was involved in more than 70 Spanish and international transactions across various sectors. At Clearwater, I have led 45 transactions with a value of more than €1.2bn. These include the MBO of Secna by Corpfin, the acquisition of Nutrafur by Frutarom, the acquisition of Tecnobakery by Lesafre, the sale of Probelte Biotech to Euromed and the acquisition of MD Moldes by Alantra. For years, I have been developing and offering M&A services based on sector specialisation, as well as proactive and strategic origination of transactions to help generate value for both our financial clients (private equity funds) and industrial clients.
