“I’d like to write a positive recommendation for Keren Bobker, who on more than one occasion has helped me navigate the opaque nature of investing and banking in the UAE.
Without a doubt each time I have reached out to her, with a complex problem (or my spouse’s) she has listened, absorbed and taken her time to come up with the best available solution, with zero fuss, and always come up with sound no nonsense advice. In contrast to other finance professionals who are all about the hard sell, Keren is dedicated to providing the most holistic and tailored approach to you.
Adding to all this, she is extremely dedicated to chunking information down to all of us expats in the UAE by providing timely updates on UK budgets and changes in legislation, that may impact us specifically. Thank you for all your ongoing help and support, I really appreciate You.” Peiyi Lei Alexander, Commercial Director
