My specialty is ANTHRO - STRATEGY, unique thinking on business, social and cultural issues.

I bring the insights of real-world challenges and actions through the experiences of a spectrum of businesses, from struggling start-ups to well-established enterprises. As a pioneer of the internet (I founded an internet start-up in New York City in the early 90s), I know first-hand the importance of what it takes to grow a technology business in a cut-throat business environment.

For over three decades I have been developing strategies for organizations in competitive environments in the global arena, in the private sector as well as in the public and non-profit sectors. In recent years, I have been working with impact organizations in various settings.

I sit on the board of several entities, such as the Madatech, Israel's National Museum of Science, Technology & Space; and GROWHUB, an early childhood innovation hub. I am also a member of Israel's Directors Team and sit on the steering committee of DTec, the 1st Druze Technology Empowerment Center.

I am engaged in mentoring, as well as business and strategic consulting. I also lectured at the IDC in the Department of Computer Science, and in the Zell and Arison Excellence programs, as well as in Microsoft's THINK NEXT program.

I am inspired by organizations looking to make an impact not only on their core business, but also on society, on the environment, on their employees, and on the world around them.
