Experience.

CCapitalChief Science and Innovation Officer

Finding the ideas
worth pursuing.

I look beyond a technology's promise to understand what can work, what makes it different and where its value lies.

CCapital

Chief Science and Innovation Officer2024–2026 · Venture capital

I evaluated AI, deep-tech and software companies through technology and commercial diligence, examining feasibility, differentiation, execution risk and scalability.

I also translated portfolio-company needs into AI adoption roadmaps, architecture choices, KPIs and practical GenAI prototypes.

  • I researched company and competitor patents during investment diligence and explored alternatives to patented approaches.
  • I reviewed inventions with developers and drafted patent applications. I'm a named inventor on two filings.
  • I built LLM agents, retrieval and knowledge-base flows, workflow automations and voice prototypes, including model and tool selection, API integration, evaluation and iteration.
Sphereo SoundFounder, CEO & CTO

From an algorithm
to a company.

I know what it takes to move from an algorithm to a product, a team and a company.

Sphereo Sound

Founder, CEO & CTO2017–2024 · AI-first audio

I founded an AI-first audio startup, bringing algorithms to mobile apps and cloud services.

I raised $12M through Round B and built and led a team of 25+ people across R&D, product and commercial delivery.

I developed the company's IP with patent attorneys and connected technical choices with user needs, product KPIs and business priorities.

  • I'm a named inventor on four patents accepted worldwide. Sphereo received two Israeli Innovation Authority awards.
  • I reviewed developers' ideas, drafted patent applications and explored technical alternatives to competitors' patented approaches.
  • I developed business cases and investor materials, managed VC and partner relationships, and used analytics to improve product results.

Accelerators: Google for Startups, Amazon Floor28, TikTok for Startups and SoundHub Denmark.

Head of Software DSP · 2015-2017

I led embedded ML/AI and signal-processing software for a non-invasive NIR spectrographic medical device, delivering algorithms to detect and measure blood molecules and support early detection of skin cancer and pressure ulcers.

Passive Imaging (PIMS)DSP Software Engineer

Passive Imaging Medical Systems

DSP Software Engineer · 2014-2015

I developed signal analysis and classification for IR-based endoscopy to identify colon cancer, alongside tools to improve physician workflows.

Babel5DSP Software Engineer

Babel5

DSP Software Engineer · 2013-2014

I built ML algorithms for real-time simultaneous audio dubbing and managed and mentored two engineers.

Hebrew UniversityProgrammer & Software Developer

Hebrew University

Programmer & Software Developer · 2005-2014

In the Department of Medical Neurobiology, I developed GPU-based parallel algorithms and software for statistical analysis of nervous-system activity. I created Spinalcore, adopted by multiple neuroscience research labs worldwide.

Protecting what
makes it different.

I work between developers, patent attorneys and business teams to connect invention with decisions about protection.

I reviewed company and competitor patents during investment diligence, assessing technical differentiation and alternative approaches.

I reviewed inventions and drafted patent applications at CCapital and Sphereo. I'm an inventor on four patents accepted worldwide at Sphereo and two filings at CCapital.

At Sphereo, I decided which inventions to patent and which know-how to retain as trade secrets, alongside work with the Israeli Innovation Authority to strengthen company IP.
