We are pleased to announce the promotion of Michele Castiglioni to Associate Partner. After successfully launching Clearwater's debt advisory service line in Italy and consolidating its market presence over the past five years, Michele will now take on a strategic role in the firm's growth, further solidifying our position in debt advisory.
Andrea Pagliara, Partner, commented:
“On behalf of the entire team, I want to congratulate Michele on this important milestone. His experience and strategic vision are an added value to Clearwater and our clients. This achievement also reflects our company's commitment to developing talent, promoting merit, and investing in professionals capable of best interpreting market dynamics.”
With this appointment, we reaffirm our commitment to strengthening leadership in debt advisory, a service considered strategic to the growth of Clearwater Italy.
Michele joined Clearwater at the end of 2019 and brings over fifteen years of experience gained in corporate finance advisory firms. He was instrumental in the creation and development of the Italian debt advisory practice, contributing to more than 15 transactions over five years, with a total debt raised exceeding €500m.
Commenting on his appointment, Michele said:
“I am proud of this new role at Clearwater and, above all, of the path we’ve taken over the last few years, during which, together with the team, we have created and consolidated Clearwater's debt advisory practice within the Italian market. Raising debt represents a crucial aspect for private equity funds when structuring leveraged buy-outs, as well as for many companies and industrial groups in our country in financing their growth and development plans. At Clearwater, we want to be by their side, offering high-profile, independent, and always results-oriented advice.”
