About

I operate at the intersection of sports, technology, and capital. My work centers on connecting founders, investors, leagues, and operators across the global sports ecosystem, with a particular focus on youth sports, performance innovation, and emerging sports-tech platforms. I advise early-stage companies, help structure strategic partnerships, and support cross-border opportunities between Israeli and North American markets. I spend much of my time building bridges between capital and operators, identifying where innovation can unlock new revenue, improve athlete development, and strengthen long-term enterprise value. I am especially interested in how youth sports infrastructure, AI-driven performance tools, and new financing models are reshaping the future of sport. My goal is simple. Make meaningful introductions. Deploy capital intelligently. Help build a stronger, more connected global sports ecosystem.
