Chris Kodeck

Partner

I am a Partner and Head of the Industrials & Chemicals team in France, based in Paris. 

Before joining Clearwater, I was a Partner at Vulcain from its creation until its integration into Clearwater in 2025.

Belgian by origin, I cover both France and Belgium, with a particular focus on aerospace & defence, renewable energy, and specialised manufacturing.

I began my career at McKinsey & Company in London, advising on large‑cap M&A and strategy projects from 2001 to 2009.

I especially enjoy helping clients articulate their strategic ambitions to investors and trade buyers, a diversity that brings intensity, variety, and meaning to the role.

I hold an MBA from Kellogg (Northwestern University) and a degree in civil engineering from UCL (Belgium).
