About

I’m a venture capital investor and tech operator with over 10 years of experience in startups, VC, and product management across the U.S., Europe, and Israel. My work focuses on AI, enterprise software, and frontier technology. At Blue Future Partners and Vinthera, I helped review thousands of investment opportunities and contributed to deploying over $50M across funds and direct startup investments. Before that, I built and scaled data and analytics systems at Playtika and Natural Intelligence, where I led cross-functional teams, launched multi-market AI and data products, and developed metrics that improved marketing efficiency by 10%. I’ve also supported founders as a mentor at MIT Innovation Fund, Techstars, and MassChallenge, and served as a Founder-in-Residence at Antler Nordics, helping early-stage teams design their products, validate business models, and prepare for fundraising. I am always happy to help people who are looking for a new challenge. I’m currently pursuing an MSc in Finance (STEM-designated) at Brandeis International Business School, expanding on my MBA from HEC Paris and BSc in Industrial Engineering from Tel Aviv University to deepen my expertise in venture finance, data-driven valuation, and investment strategy. Specialties: Venture capital investing, startup due diligence, financial modeling, data analytics, AI strategy, go-to-market execution, product development, portfolio management, market research, strategic partnerships, business model validation, growth strategy, investment thesis design, product-market fit analysis, and cross-functional leadership.
