Acquisition modelling: elevating strategic conversations with a credible financial model

Carsten Rydahl

I am motivated by and thrive with advising company owners on how we together create the best basis for a sale. My noblest task is to understand and incorporate the owners' motivations and success criteria and carry them into the sales process so we can deliver the result they dream of. I have worked with owner-founders and PE's since I started my career in 2008 - and since 2018 as a Partner at our office in Aarhus.

Thomas Gaucher

I am one of the founders of Clearwater France and lead our financial services sector, ranging from insurance or credit brokerage (acquisition of Filiassur by Tikehau Capital), to regulated activities (sale of Luxembourg based Life Insurance company One Life to Aviva). I also lead our leisure sub-sector team which has been particularly active working on a number of transactions in sub-sectors such as: hospitality (sale of Morgan Stanley’s Parisian 4 starred Hotel Group to Swisslife); restaurant groups (sale of French Parisian brasseries Frères Blanc to Bertrand); holiday resorts, advising Pierre & Vacances in several deals; and in the camping/caravaning industry, advising leading French companies European Camping Group (ex Homair Vacances) and Vacalians. I started my career with CIC Bank investment, and then joined Lazard M&A and Close Brothers/DC Advisory. In total I have led more than 50 transactions, ranging from raising equity for start-ups, to negotiating deals for institutional groups, and in every case I am proud to help clients reach crucial milestones.
