Anton Berzelius

I joined Clearwater International as an Analyst at the Stockholm office in the Spring of 2021. Before joining Clearwater, I worked for the Transaction Services team at Alvarez & Marsal for almost two years, where I advised on M&A deals for PE and strategic buyers/sellers in various industries. My sector strengths include power & utilities, SaaS, consulting services and retail. Parallel to my studies I also worked as CFO for two business groups, operating within facility management and the MedTech space. I hold a BSc in Business & Economics and an MSc in Accounting, Valuation and Financial Management from the Stockholm School of Economics. I also hold an MSc of Law from Stockholm University, with a specialisation in International Tax Law and Financial Market Law.

James Malcharek

I am a Director in the Industrials & Chemicals team, with a particular responsibility for the Industrial Technology and Building Materials sectors. I joined Clearwater in 2021 from Lazard, where I spent four years, primarily focused on the industrial sector. Before joining Lazard, I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in corporate finance at Ernst & Young. My experience spans public and private companies, primarily advising on mergers, acquisitions, and disposals.

Marcus Archer

I have been a partner of Clearwater since 2008, and during that time have built a business services sector team, developed our sponsor coverage programme, substantially grown our London team and sat on the UK Board (as well as advising many clients on successful fundraises, exits or acquisitions!). I am still a keen tennis player, rapidly learning how to play padel, an average golfer and love any time I can spend scuba diving or on the ski slopes.

My career at Clearwater began at the start of 2020 when I joined the business as a M&A Analyst, before being promoted to M&A Associate in 2022. Prior to this, I spent several months at Stecc Group as a Junior Venture Analyst. I also interned in the business control team at SuitSupply. Studying wise, I achieved a bachelor’s degree in International Business Law from Leiden University, followed by a combined master’s degree in Law and Finance, with a Cum Laude distinction, from the University of Amsterdam.

As Financial Controller, I am responsible for information sharing and reporting overall financial performance of the international business. I qualified as a Chartered Accountant in 2007 and spent 6 years at JTI in Manchester and Geneva, holding a variety of roles in consolidation, governance, reporting and FP&A. I then worked as a Financial Controller at SPX and Clarity Business Travel respectively, before contracting at Internet Fusion Group in 2021. I am delighted to have joined Clearwater International in March 2022 during an exciting period of growth for the business.
