Michael Wasserman

Senior Vice President–Wealth Management

Michael Wasserman launched his career in 1989 as an intern in Quantitative Research with the bank Societe Generale in Paris, France. Today, Michael manages and protects the continued prosperity of 40 successful entrepreneurs and their families. His professional service philosophy rests on connected communication and responsiveness, guiding clients through a customized investment strategy aimed at successfully reaching their personal financial goals. Michael has managed his clients' wealth through three recessions and several market corrections. These challenging cycles have reinforced Michael's belief that there is no responsibility more critical than the professional stewardship of entrusted client assets.

Michael is multilingual and conducts daily client communication in several languages including English, Portuguese, Spanish and Hebrew. Prior to receiving his MBA at Babson College, Michael served in an infantry combat unit with the IDF. He is actively involved with local nonprofits in the areas of education and social support services to the underserved in his community. When he is not training for an endurance athletic event, Michael enjoys spending time with his wife and two daughters.
