Passionate about empowering startup founders and CEOs, I bring hands-on experience across VC, startup building, operations, and business development in Silicon Valley and internationally. As a Thought Partner, I work with leaders through critical growth phases and complex strategic decisions.At Heroic Ventures, a Palo Alto-based early-stage VC, I met with hundreds of founders, and mentored and supported startups from inception through scaling.

Previously, as COO and head of business development and strategy in startups, I drove early-stage growth and operational strategy. My career also includes leading Rolls-Royce’s Fighter Plane Engines Business Unit in the U.K., managing Elbit Systems’ Digital Soldier Program, and serving as a Business and Strategy Consultant for a family office and an IT Consultant at Intel.A former Company Commander in the IDF Paratroopers Division, I hold a B.Sc. in Information Systems Engineering and an MBA from INSEAD. My expertise spans coaching and mentoring leaders, scaling VC-backed startups, driving operational excellence, and fostering high-performance cultures grounded in teamwork and effective leadership.
