WIB Member Profile - Janet Ososki


Name: Janet Ososki

Company: deVere Group is the world's largest independent financial consultancy group. International investors and expatriates employ us to find financial services products that suit their medium to long term requirements for insurance, investments, savings and pensions. With in excess of US $7 billion of funds under administration and management, deVere has more than fifty thousand clients in over a hundred countries.

What makes your business special: the “special” part of our business is the levels of service we offer to our clients, we believe in helping our clients on a regular basis and giving a transparent and completely unbiased approach when it comes to recommending solutions. As a company we hold strategic alliances with some of the world’s biggest names, such as Morgan Stanley, Barclays, Deutsche Bank and Royal Skandia to name just a few.

Top business tip: Always have an approachable manner, treat people how you would like them to treat you and remember there is always another point of view.

Why I like living in Spain: I love waking up to sunshine and the relaxed way of life. Being able to get out and about, meeting people, playing some golf – what could be better?
