About

I'm a startup operator and two-time founder with deep experience in AI, fintech, and defense tech. Over the past decade, I’ve built and led ventures from the ground up — owning strategy, product, go-to-market, and partnerships. I’ve led teams through zero-to-one, scaled growth initiatives, and secured strategic alliances across sectors.

Before founding startups, I served as a Major in the IDF, leading intelligence and strategic planning efforts, including U.S.-Israel collaboration. I bring a strong bias for execution, a systems-thinking mindset, and a hands-on approach to solving complex, cross-functional challenges.

Now open to leadership roles in the U.S., Israel, or remote — particularly in strategy, business development, or operations. I'm also open to joining a founding team or leading a high-growth initiative in a mission-driven company
