Debbie’s experience in international finance, capital markets and central banking enables her to understand the broader picture – an asset she uses to advise her clients. Mrs. Sassen began her career as a financial analyst at Goldman Sachs, working in liability management for multi-national corporations and central banks. After moving to Israel in 1988, Debbie worked for 18 years as an economist and portfolio manager for the Bank of Israel. Mrs. Sassen has spent the last 3 years working with individuals and high net worth clients to manage their banking, investment and retirement planning needs.
