What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for growth, where I can leverage my operational expertise to drive efficiency and business success.

I am an operations ninja with extensive experience in managing teams and optimizing processes across various industries. My career has been marked by a commitment to driving high performance in challenging environments, where I excel at coordinating with clients, suppliers, and authorities. I pride myself on my creative approach to problem-solving and my ability to implement innovative strategies that enhance productivity and efficiency.

Throughout my career, I have successfully led teams in multinational settings, achieving significant cost reductions and revenue increases. For instance, while serving as Chief Operations Officer at the Israel Export Institute, I spearheaded day-to-day operations, resulting in a 20% enhancement in overall efficiency. My strategic negotiation skills have also allowed me to decrease operating costs by 15% at MATI, The Jerusalem Business Development Center.

As a consultant, I have worked with various hospitality and food businesses, developing comprehensive logistics networks and operational frameworks that foster growth. My role as VP of Growth & Strategy at Asif: The Culinary Institute of Israel involved executing a growth strategy that significantly increased business opportunities through collaboration with industry influencers. I am passionate about cultivating strong relationships with stakeholders and driving initiatives that support organizational growth.
