Ralf Hermann

I have dedicated my entire professional career to successful corporate finance projects: M&A on the one hand, and sales of complex commercial property on the other. I have also managed various major corporate restructurings. My projects focus on the property and ancillary construction sectors, the transport and logistics sector, the food sector and industrial companies. As a partner at Clearwater Switzerland, I work on mandates for family-owned companies and listed mid-caps - always with the aim of achieving enthusiastic client feedback. During my professional career, I co-founded the Corporate Finance and M&A division of the Helbling Group, Switzerland's largest independent engineering and management consultancy. Subsequently, I co-founded Zetra International AG, a corporate finance boutique, which over time developed into one of the leading medium-sized M&A firms in Switzerland, with particular strength in complex transactions. I completed my university education at the University of St. Gallen with a Master's degree in Finance and Accounting, followed by a doctorate in Business Administration. I am a hard worker and value deep and often international friendships.

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.
