Michele Castiglioni

Upon graduating with a Master's degree in Economics and Management at the Bocconi University of Milan, enriched by international experiences in primary universities in Europe and the US, I started my professional career in corporate finance. Following about five years of experience each at Mittel Corporate Finance and EY Italy where I held several roles as a corporate finance consultant with a specific focus on debt advisory, I joined the Clearwater team in 2019 to lead the Italian Debt Advisory team. Currently, with the role of Head of Debt Advisory Italy, I advise our clients – primarily private equity funds, corporates, and entrepreneurs - in structured finance and leverage finance transactions.

Gareth Iley

I have worked in mergers and acquisitions since I qualified as an accountant. I was a founding employee of Clearwater in 2003, after I had spent time in both transaction due diligence and advising businesses on floating on the UK stock market. Since we formed Clearwater, I have focussed on advising businesses on selling to international trade buyers or private equity funds, especially within the consumer sector. In 2022, I joined the UK board and took responsibility for all aspects of the operations of the UK business.

I have spent the last 20 years working with owner-managed businesses and private equity clients, predominantly on fundraising projects for growth and shareholder value realisation.
