DEBORAH SASS
(SPACE HERO)
Born and raised in London, with an Indian Jazz musician father and a British model mother, Deborah experienced growing up in the challenging environment of the 70ies and 80ies in England, embattled by poverty and racism.
Her strong base comes from growing up in a loving family with two younger siblings. The family moved to Australia where Deborah finished school and went to work as a sales woman for the Yellow Pages being only 17 years old, learning the hard graft of cold calling customers and convincing them to pay for an ad. Discovering success and reward through her own power and strength put her on a different path.
She bought her first house at age 23, more followed over the next few years.
Deborah started her media career working in advertising, radio and TV in Perth, Australia, then back in London soon after. She then moved her career to the digital music and film industry, first at Muze, then as an SVP at Macrovision, overseeing all their European Business. Moving to Los Angeles in 2007 she helped set up a digital entertainment consultancy practice and became a passionate champion for all things digital & entertainment. By 2014, now an experienced executive with a global outlook and a strong focus on tech, entertainment & raising money, she understood that there is more to happiness than success in business and first moved to Bali, then 2 years later to Ibiza, which she now calls home.
In 2016 Deborah was contacted by a colleague of many years, Thomas Reemer, to restart a venture he had created in 2008 called Space Hero. The cooperation proved to be successful and the venture took off in an incredible way. For two years both founders travelled to meet with the global space industry. The venture is now on a path to becoming an impactful global project.
Deborah lives on a farm with her two beautiful jack russell's, affectionately called Buzz & Armstrong and grows her own vegetables. She enjoys a healthy and sustainable lifestyle.
Deborah is planning chickens on the farm as well as putting the first normal person into Space
