About Me
I was born in California, spent most of childhood in Israel and my high school years in Italy.
I am currently on vacation.
I used to work at Sears Holdings Corporation as a Vice President of New Services & General Manager of Social Commerce, following the acquisition of my startup Delver. Prior to Sears, I founded a highly innovative Information Security startup, Onigma, which was acquired by McAfee. The acquisition party was a blast 
The original motive for starting Onigma was to sell it and use the money to finance my first feature film. The first part of the plan worked out well, yet I couldn’t resist starting ‘just one more startup’. Going back to making movies has become again an exciting option.
Before all that startup extravaganza, I wrote a very funny Israeli sitcom (together with my highly talented comedian friend Nadav Abekasis) yet unfortunately, none of the local TV producers we met laughed as much as we did. The script is now safely stored in my home computer under the folder ‘the funniest Hebrew comedy no one will ever see’.
In 2002-2003, I worked with American-Israeli film director Avi Nesher on various projects, the most interesting one being ‘Turn Left at the End of the World’, a major box-office success in Israel. That was a cool project, and I might post about it at some point in time.
I graduated cum-laude from Tel-Aviv University with a double-BA in Film Studies and Computer Sciences, however the real exciting stuff took place during my high school years in the United World College of the Adriatic in Italy. If you stumbled upon this page and you are about 15 years old, stop everything you do and apply for a scholarship at the UWC. You will never regret it!
Earlier in life I was fortunate to travel through Asia for almost a year, climbed a few interesting 6,000+m mountain peaks in Peru and generally kept myself busy avoiding getting killed in a wide variety of extreme sports and stupid activities (tips for travelers, #12: Never drive at night in Goa, India, with more than 3 people on your bike). I still have some secret plans of living under a Cocoa tree for several years. Please let me know if you have a beautiful island for sale.
