About
I am the Dean and co-founder of the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship at the Reichman University (IDC, Herzliya) – Israel's most prestigious private university.
I have more than 20 years of experience in teaching and training young adults, students at B.A. and M.A. levels, and managers from Israel, the US, Singapore, Germany, and China. Over the years, I taught or managed programs for students from Princeton University, The National University of Singapore, The Technische Universität Darmstadt, The Frankfurt School of Finance & Management, Tsinghua University, Tel-Aviv University, and The Interdisciplinary Center Herzliya.
I obtained my B.A. (magna cum laude) from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, where I studied psychology and was part of the "Amirim" interdisciplinary honors program. I completed my PhD. in Business Administration in the direct program for excellent Ph.D. students at Tel Aviv University.
My research focuses on behavioral decision-making, negotiation, creativity, and innovation. Alongside academic research and publishing, I am also the author of two children's books and a book on negotiation.
