Port of Oakland hires Lee as CFO

   The Port of Oakland said it has hired formed Goldman, Sachs & Co. investment banker Sara Lee as its chief financial officer.

   Lee has more than 15 years of investment banking experience, largely in public sector finance, most recently as vice president of the public sector and infrastructure finance group at Goldman Sachs in San Francisco.

   Port of Oakland Executive Director Omar Benjamin said Lee “has extensive public sector finance experience advising transportation clients including the Port of Oakland and other significant U.S. West Coast seaports and airports.' The port said it was one of Lee's first clients upon joining Goldman Sachs and she has participated in virtually every Port of Oakland bond issuance since.
