For Goldenberg, this is a return to UBS after leaving Credit Suisse in October after only a year and three months as CEO of Credit Suisse Israel, a departure that was first published in Globes. She joined the Swiss bank in February 2017 as head of Credit Suisse’s private banking team in Tel Aviv UHNWI – the group of the most affluent capitalists, having previously held a similar position at UBS Israel and headed Citi Private Bank in Israel.
UBS explained that the bank has ambitious growth plans for the Israeli market and plans to double the volume of assets managed in it over the next three years. They also explained that these plans are a continuation of the activity carried out by Gary Livnat, who after about seven years at the bank will end his position as CEO of the activity in Israel, in order to exhaust other opportunities.
Ido Ben-Haim said: “The UBS Group intends to focus on strategic customer segments. The market in Israel is considered one of the most dynamic markets in the world for creating venture capital, especially in the technology sector. UBS is in a unique position to provide a specific solution to these customers.”
