Tanja Ruess
Associate DirectorI joined Clearwater’s Debt Advisory team in May 2023. In my current role, I advise medium-sized companies on financing processes and on how to optimise their capital structure. Prior to this, I spent five years in UniCredit’s investment banking division. First, in their Capital Structure Advisory team and later, in Corporate Structured Finance. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from the Baden-Wuerttemberg Cooperative State University, as well as an MBA degree from WHU – Otto Beisheim School of Management. As part of my MBA, I completed several modules abroad including New York and Dubai. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time in the mountains or on the tennis court.
