What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth in a dynamic environment.

I am a dedicated professional with over a decade of experience in leadership roles, particularly as the Head of the Israel Branch and Founding Team at Valera Health. My journey has been marked by a commitment to building high-performing teams and delivering impactful product strategies. I successfully managed a team and a $1.5M annual budget while overseeing strategy, marketing, tech, product, and operations, directly contributing to the growth of the company’s services across five U.S. states.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated my ability to align technology and business goals, having built IT infrastructure and led SOC2 certification processes. My experience in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) further honed my leadership skills, where I led teams of up to 30 soldiers and managed complex projects with significant budgets. I am passionate about leveraging technology to drive efficiency and enhance operational workflows.
