Israel

Message

At Kenes Israel, I lead corporate events and business conferences in Israel and internationally, managing projects from concept and planning through delivery for corporate and government clients.

I also led Kenes Israel’s comprehensive rebranding, from defining products and target audiences to developing the brand identity, messaging, website, and marketing strategy.

For a leading insurance and financial company, I led large-scale corporate events and employee vacations serving tens of thousands of participants across multiple destinations and project cycles.

Earlier, I managed events and production at TODO Company and Beit Zvi School of the Performing Arts, and municipal and community projects at Culture and Leisure Association, Ness Ziona. I hold an M.A. in Organizational Development and Consulting, specializing in Human Resources.
