William Poirson

I joined Clearwater in November 2021 as an Associate. With eight years’ experience in the banking industry at LCL, I started my career in Credit Committee, moving to the Coverage and Leveraged Finance teams. During my last experience, I worked on mid cap transactions for several private equity funds. I decided to join Clearwater for its solid reputation on the small and mid cap transaction market, its strong ambitions on the debt advisory practice, its entrepreneurial mindset and its human-sized team. In a dynamic and competitive transactions environment, the ability to offer different financing structures with firm commitment under challenging timings is becoming more and more important for our clients, and therefore justifies the growing relevance of a debt adviser. I graduated from Grenoble Ecole de Management with a Master’s degree.
