About Me

Serving as the CEO of the Israeli Vehicle Importers Association (I-VIA) since 2018, he brings nearly three decades of leadership experience across the insurance and automotive industries. His professional journey includes senior executive positions such as Chairman of the New Kopel Group, Deputy CEO of MCA Group, and CEO of Opel Israel.

Alongside his executive career, he has been an Associate Professor at the Bucharest University of Economic Studies since 2017. He holds a Ph.D. in Economics and Crisis Management from UTM University and a second Ph.D. in Economics and International Affairs, specializing in Strategies in the Global Business Environment, from ASE University. In 2023, he was also certified as a Business Arbitrator by the Faculty of Law at Bar-Ilan University.

A graduate of the Israeli Naval Combat Officers Academy, he holds the rank of retired Major in the Israel Defense Forces.

His professional experience has also been reflected in his writing. He is the author of four books on crisis management, leadership, and organizational strategy. Enterprise Crisis Management (2021) was recognized by BookAuthority as one of the top crisis management eBooks, ranking #14, and presents a practical framework for risk detection, prevention, and mitigation across organizations.

This was followed by Drive Against Crisis (2023), which proposes an economic model for governments and automakers to mitigate crises, accidents, and pollution, and Be the Game Changer (2024), offering practical guidance for overcoming personal and professional challenges while empowering young leaders and entrepreneurs.

His latest book, The ThinKing Queen (2026), co-authored with Inbar Offer, presents a leadership framework centered on execution, leadership, and purpose, providing practical insights for entrepreneurs, CEOs, and executives seeking to build resilient, sustainable, and meaningful organizations.

Beyond business and academia, his experience also extends to sports management. Beginning in 2009, he served for several years as the manager of Hagar Finer, a five-time Women’s World Boxing Champion.
