It’s skill, not art ↴
Hi
Take a Business Psychology major, mixed with an executive consultant and a certified coach and you have an interdisciplinary blend as part of my background.

Creating and practicing expertise alongside empathy. Taking pride in being an industry leader that delivers and (not but) invests in people.
I work with leading global companies, enterprises and hypergrowth startups to create the best possible experience on a business and cultural level, internally and externally.
As part of my career, I have also been a credited lecturer in academic courses for M.A. students at Reichman University and the MBA Recanati school, TLV university.
