About Me
I advise organizations that want to accelerate their performance by boosting their management capabilities. My approach is interactive, data-driven, and global. Among my clients are large multinationals such as Coca-Cola, British American Tobacco, Google, and PayPal and small startups like Ellevate Network, LEVEE and Mandaê.
​
I also helped numerous leaders reach higher levels through my leadership programs.
Prior to starting my company, I held roles in finance, business development, and strategy in the technology, Banking, Mining, and Cosmetics sectors. I have been fortunate to have had a truly international experience working with executives in large multinationals like Deutsche Bank, Lloyds Bank, Coty and Vale SA. This diverse experience, combined with my background as a Russian-Israeli American, has shaped my cross-cultural view of the challenges that leaders and organizations face while scaling their operations.
​
I have a PhD in Organizational Behavior and Decision Science from the Fundação Getúlio Vargas Business and Public Administration School (FGV/EBAPE) in Rio de Janeiro. I also have an MBA from the Wharton School and an MA in International Studies from Lauder Institute at the University of Pennsylvania and BS in Computer Sciences and a BA in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin.
