Clearwater has appointed Michael Ingelög as Chair as we continue to grow our international presence and strengthen our cross-border advisory capabilities across Europe.
Based in Sweden, Michael joins Clearwater with a rare combination of experience as an adviser, entrepreneur, investor and chairman, giving him first-hand insight into the opportunities and challenges businesses and management teams face as they grow.
Over the course of his career, Michael has held senior leadership roles at Credit Suisse, Deutsche Bank and UBS, before going on to co-found digital mortgage platform Stabelo Group. Alongside a number of entrepreneurial and board positions, he has also advised and chaired technology and growth businesses across international markets.
Having lived and worked internationally for much of his career, including 12 years in London, Michael will work closely with the leadership team across Clearwater as we continue expanding our European platform and supporting clients on increasingly international and complex transactions.

Bruce Weir, COO at Clearwater, said:
“Michael brings an incredibly valuable perspective because he’s seen business from every angle, as a senior adviser, entrepreneur, investor and chairman. That combination is rare, and it means he understands both the strategic and human side of building businesses.
“Just as importantly, he’s a great cultural fit for Clearwater. He brings deep international experience, an entrepreneurial mindset and a relationship-led approach that aligns strongly with how we work with clients across the business.”
Michael Ingelög, Chair at Clearwater, said:
“What attracted me to Clearwater was the entrepreneurial culture and the way people genuinely work together across the business. There’s a huge amount of energy in the firm, but also a real focus on understanding businesses properly and building long-term relationships with clients.
“I’ve always enjoyed getting close to businesses, understanding what drives them, the challenges they face and how they create long-term value. Clearwater has built a very strong platform across Europe and I’m excited to work with teams across the business during this next stage of growth.”
