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.

I joined Clearwater International in June 2022 as an Analyst as part of the deal origination team. I decided to join Clearwater because of the opportunity to work for a company with a leading position and alongside a team of experts in the M&A field. Prior to joining the business, I worked as an Account Manager for four years at the Corporative Banking Department at Banca March and gained experience as an intern working across different sectors. I have a degree in Business Administration and Management and completed a master’s degree in Banking and Financial Markets at EAE Business School. I am a certified European Financial Adviser through EFPA Spain, the Spanish Association of Financial Advisors and Planners.
