startups, and running entrepreneurship and innovation workshops at Israeli accelerators and government entrepreneurship programs.

After completing an advanced software engineering course at the Technion in Israel, I joined several startups back in the 2000 bubble era. I then moved to New Zealand where I led business process improvement projects at large government organizations and founded my first startup in the data visualization space. After completing a 7 year stint overseas, I returned home and joined leading video startups Powtoon.com and Promo.com as head of product. In between I founded my 2nd startup in the recruitment space. Throughout my career, I was always at the intersection of coding, user experience, product and leadership.

I have been intimately involved in all aspects of entrepreneurship, from envisioning the concept, business planning, hiring, operations build out, funds raising, strategic partnerships, outsourcing, finances, marketing, and more. With a focus on action and results, I am a leader who jumps into the trenches, learning and then executing the necessary steps to achieve goals, enthusiastically working to keep everything moving forward to make our shared vision a reality.
