What I'm looking for
I am a strategic and results-driven CFO with over 20 years of financial leadership experience across startups and public companies in international markets. My expertise spans M&A, global tax structuring, and fundraising, having successfully raised over $500 million. I hold a CPA from Israel and an MBA from the U.S., which equip me with the skills to navigate complex financial landscapes.
Throughout my career, I have built and led finance teams, implemented ERP systems, and managed investor relations across multiple countries including the U.S., UK, and Germany. My role as CFO at Nobio and Premia Spine has allowed me to manage all financial, legal, HR, and IR functions, leading significant fundraising rounds and ensuring compliance with international standards.
In addition to my professional accomplishments, I am passionate about mentoring emerging finance leaders and contributing to high-growth environments. I am also an avid marathon runner and a certified yacht skipper, which reflects my commitment to discipline and leadership both in and out of the office.
