I'm a globally oriented lawyer and operational leader with over 10 years of experience in crypto, fintech and gaming. I'm based in Israel but have always preferred to work with clients all over the world, travel and connect with other business cultures. I'm a natural born communication and speaker, incredibly gifted at processing complex matters into captivating idea that land and move people. I have a knack for changing people's lives and influencing mindsets: both personally and professionally. In fact, that is the real drive behind what I've always done as a lawyer and operational leader- I strived to carve paths for my clients where there were none (8 years ago in crypto, there was no clear regulatory guidance); I wanted to make their businesses work, and to better the financial industry as a whole through enabling innovation. So I became an expert on financial regulation to enable my clients, through knowledge and legal creativity, to work and go to market. From there, I started acting as not just a lawyer: I advised on branding, framing, I was handling investors and all levels of stakeholders; and I realized my biggest value lies in the intersection between business operations and strategy, communication and regulatory creativity. At the same time I traveled a lot and went on stages in high profile events (Davos, St. Moritz, United Nations HQ) to spread my view on crypto regulation and the blockchain revolution.
Today, I'm looking for a more holistic constellation. instead of working with multiple clients, I'd like an influential role within an enticing company, where I can help it grow, evolve and fulfill my calling as a force multiplier, innovator and evolution agent. The ideal positions would be in operations, legal/ regulatory or communications (as a brand ambassador or industry speaker).
I'm 36 years old, single with availability to travel as needed.
