Bertolt Mueller has more than 20 years of sector-specific consulting experience and is moving from the publicly traded energy supplier MVV Energie AG to Clearwater International.

Dierk Rottmann, Managing Partner and Co-Head of Energy & Utilities added:

“The energy and utility industry is a complex field and is strongly influenced by factors such as the availability of fossil resources, renewable energies, climate protection and decarbonization, alternative fuels, the circular economy and digitalization. The need for efficient and sustainable energy generation methods as well as the provision and operation of networks for the distribution of electricity, gas or heat is constantly increasing. The energy & utilities space will therefore be subject to major changes in the coming years. This not only creates challenges, but also a multitude of opportunities for companies to leverage synergies and open up new markets. We therefore expect strong growth in global transaction activity. With Bertolt Mueller as Co-Head of Energy & Utilities, we will continue to expand this area in Germany with the goal of becoming one of the leading consultancies in this area together with the international Clearwater offices.”
