| Introduction | Born, raised and formally educated in Australia and currently lives in Israel. Bachelor and post-graduate studies in finance, and then devoted the following 10 years to unlearning Modern Portfolio Theory and studying the principles of Value Investing. I have worked as an equity analyst and management consultant, but have gained most of my business experience in my own businesses. Founded 2 early-stage technology ventures - Inspirecast Inc in the US, and IntuView Inc in Israel. I served as a Senior Parliamentary advisor in Israel's previous government, and for the last 5 years have taught bachelor-level Economics at one of Israel's major universities. Fluent in French and Hebrew. Every day I remind myself how lucky I am that I am the father of Alma,Shira,and Netta and that I am married to their mother, Einat - who remains supportive to the unconventional way that I see and do things. After my family and friends, and their health, the thing that I value most is my time. And the thing that I tolerate least is wasting it. |
