Profile
For over a decade I have seen from deep inside enterprise decision-chambers how pioneering entrepeneurs with refreshing agility can move markets and break barriers.
I’ve experienced the unparalleled thrill of growing companies from investing first money at Sequoia and later as Founder of Arbor Ventures in Israel, investing in leading companies including Forter, Fundbox and Planck.
This insatiable appetite to identify, nurture and collaborate with the sharpest entrepeneurial minds lured me to join Gili at Cyberstarts where I knew we could play a significant role in the nurture of the most important cyber companies to global markets.
Lior, loves yoga – especially the clarity and perspective that disconnecting affords; also playing strategic games and snowboarding, but not at the same time.
