I'm on Unicorns hunting spree! I joined Mangrove Capital Partners in 2011. Throughout my career I was involved in business creation around the globe, focusing in four continents and examined the world of technology from various perspectives. I founded and developed several start-up companies, taking leading roles such as business-angel, company vice president and entrepreneur. I bring corporate, start-up and early-stage investment experience, which helps me support our entrepreneurs during the first steps of their ventures, as well as protect their interest at later stages.I strongly believe in out of the box thinking and a "no-bull" approach. I introduce investment opportunities to the Mangrove team only when I am intrigued by both a business idea and a unique founding team. I consider myself a hands-on investor and currently sit in the board of directors of two Mangrove portfolio companies: WalkMe and Wix.As a Partner at Mangrove, I’m looking for our next Unicorn company in the fields of: SaaS, Mobile, New media, Adtech, FinTech and Security.I started my career as a Marketing Manager for an American Consumer Goods company and moved to focus in technology in the late 90s, when I co-founded Sphera Corporation, a company providing automation, provisioning, virtualization and management of Saas solutions to hosting companies and Telecoms. The company was acquired by Parallels in 2007. Later, I founded RFcell Technologies, an RF engineering company serving the wireless and cellular market and was involved in the foundation of Wix – a leading cloud-based web development platform company (NADSAQ: WIX)I hold Bachelor's Degree in Economy & Administration from the Tel Aviv University.
