Taboola powers recommendations for the open web, helping people discover what's interesting and new, enriching their lives.In this role, I have the honor of building out the talent acquisition strategy and leading a talented global team across Israel, APAC, EMEA and the Americas, in attracting and hiring the best talent (tech and non-tech) for Taboola. In addition, I oversee 9 global Employee Resources Groups in support of the Company's DEI strategy and initiatives. In 2023, my scope expanded to leading and executing on the learning and development strategy for the Company to retain and develop our people, a critical competitive lever to help us win in the marketplace.

As a way to “give back”, I've teamed up with LinkedIn alumni/colleagues during the pandemic and formed a startup called Learn, Grow, Give: Professional Empowerment. This experiential program empowers others with the know-how, tools and confidence to navigate their job search amid high unemployment rates caused by the pandemic (50% of proceeds are donated to charitable causes). The sessions are designed for university and early to mid career talent, focusing on how to "stand out" and includes an inside look on the "hiring side" and how to best position one's self. Profile, resume, cover letter, interview, and networking tips and tricks will be put to practice in "real time". Feedback to individuals on resume, cover letters and LinkedIn profiles to help re-launch careers will also be provided.
