Prior to founding AlphaSituations in 2017, Sassoon was director of special situations research at R.F. Lafferty. Earlier in his career, Sassoon was the lead author of The Global Spin-off Report and The European Spin-Off Report for Institutional Research Group, providing due diligence and valuation analysis on every spin-off occurring outside of the U.S.
