Jeff Israely is a Founder and Editor at Worldcrunch. Colleagues describe him as "Jeff is a true mensch. He's an inspirational leader, a pragmatic startup founder, and uncharacteristically business-minded for an editor-in-chief. It was an incredible opportunity to work with him and be a part of his Worldcrunch team." and "While unassuming, Jeff will always stand out in a crowd thanks to his professionalism and charm. His prediction that Joseph Ratzinger would become pope, in an article written for Time Magazine several months before most Vatican expert had caught up with the idea, is just one example of his brilliant analytical skills, journalistic intuition and ability to find and nurture the right sources."
