In today’s fast-paced and uncertain environment, accessing top tech talent often means expanding internationally. At COMMIT Offshore, with 200+ team members across four global centers, I’ve found that thriving in global hiring depends on two main factors: 🔑 Cultural Compatibility: Embracing cultural diversity is key. For instance, Israel’s direct style can differ greatly from the more reserved approach of Ukrainian, Armenian professionals. 🤝 Emphasis on Soft Skills: Technical expertise is critical, but it’s the adaptability, communication, and teamwork skills that truly bind a team. Identifying and understanding personality types can transform team dynamics: 🔍 The Analyst – Detail-oriented, thorough, and structured. Perfect for roles that need data-driven decisions and precision. ✅ The Task-Oriented – Mission-focused, efficient, and punctual. Ideal for tasks with tight deadlines and clear objectives. 🎤 The Promoter – Charismatic and engaging, they light up the room. Great fit for Sales and Marketing! 🤝 The Supporter – Calm, empathetic, and reliable. Perfect for roles in care-giving and customer support. Creating successful international teams goes beyond recruitment—it's about building a shared culture that resonates globally.

Mainly on my channel, Focus Point, I explain how and what to do for reaching success. Now it's time for practical cases! Very soon, there will be an interview on the channel with Nadav Shoval, CEO and founder of OpenWeb, our first Israeli unicorn. We invested in this company at an early stage, and today it is a leader in its industry. Nadav talked about his story and views, shared how he managed to achieve such impressive results. I'm sure the OpenWeb case will be useful to many, especially those interested in learning how to set goals and achieve success, even for established players. To not miss out, subscribe to my channel.

𝐌𝐞𝐧, 𝐖𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡. 𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. Today would be a great day for it. I just launched a six-part series, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧. It's not a "how-to" on allyship. Not a polite invitation to "do better." No history lesson. I share solutions. Offer a raw look at the systems we, as men, have carefully built over the last 30 years—in the time of my working life—to hold power, lock out women, and perpetuate a system where money and influence flow in one direction: toward us. The corrupt beast that is us is now; it's deliberate, mechanical, and powered by a spectacular banality. This is no discourse on a relic of the past. Male-dominated hiring, promotions, and networks that systematically shut women out. The cost? It's steep—financially, operationally, ethically—saps value from our economy and souls. While we hide behind diversity awards and glossy PR statements, we build market-making teams that you and I've seen at 77% male or worse. If, like me, you're in a position of influence (pro tip: we're all in a position of influence), you're either maintaining or changing it. There's no middle ground. I don't hold any high moral ground. I can't lecture. I'm a man who's watched, contributed to, and benefited from these systems. I know the calculus of a male-dominated system from the inside; lay it out plainly—I argue it can be undone in any one company with aggressive, intentional change. 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙙𝙪𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣: 𝙎𝙮𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙢𝙨, 𝙇𝙖𝙯𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙨𝙨, 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙋𝙧𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙘𝙩𝙖𝙗𝙡𝙚 𝙁𝙖𝙞𝙡𝙪𝙧𝙚 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙄𝙣𝙩𝙚𝙣𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣𝙨 👉🏽 https://lnkd.in/gTQvykn6 In this first post in the series, I confront our role in perpetuating gender imbalance—and survey the machine and how we can start dismantling it in our own workplaces. There won't be applause.

The amazing Barak Danin is always sharing past lectures from conferences just before the next ones are coming. This is how I got in my mail this absolute gem of a lecture - how to design medical interfaces to add trust by the users. Adi Simon shares amazing examples of how to reorganize the data on your interface to build the trust the medical practitioners need in order to actually utilized the product. Highly recommended to anyone building medical systems. The lecture is free to watch after a quick registration (Unfortunately in Hebrew). #fertility #productmanagement

Yesterday at the Knesset, I had the privilege of representing the מערך הדיגיטל הלאומי - Israel National Digital Agency alongside Nir Yanovsky Dagan in a special committee discussion on AI, Cloud and the Israeli High-Tech sector. We engaged with numerous leaders from the Israeli Data and AI Ecosystem to explore the remarkable growth potential, investment opportunities, and rapid advancements that have defined our field over the past two years. It was truly inspiring to witness the strong collaborative spirit and shared commitment to strengthening Israel's leadership in AI and technology. The connections forged among government, business, academia, and civil society are essential for turning this vision into reality. We stand at a unique and significant crossroad, with a moment in time that we must leverage and embrace. The risks associated with inaction are daunting. We are committed to taking decisive action now, together, across the Ecosystem and I feel fortunate to collaborate with such dedicated and intelligent partners who share our sense of urgency! #AI #Data #Cloud #Innovation #growth

Please watch this video if you cherish life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The POTUS seems to have been hijacked not only by dementia, but also by Islamism, which is sweeping the free world like wildfire. As if 9/11 wasn’t enough. As if Oct 7 wasn’t enough. As if hijacking higher education and our economies in the free world wasn’t enough. It’s time for civil people to take back control and defeat Islamism. The only party that offers a way out right now are the Republicans as seen in this video, along with the Israelis who are fighting this evil while sacrificing their brightest in the process. Please consider making a donation to the speakers in this video, to Israeli soldiers at the IDF, and most importantly - speak up! Sitting quietly on the sidelines as the foundations of the civil world are shaken by Islamism (take 2, after WW2... Islamism is the ideology that inspired German National Socialism, and the one that denies it ever happened while disseminating Mein Kampf in Islamist school systems) is the worst we all could do. If you’re a Muslim that fled Islamism to live in democracies like the U.S. or Israel, you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. If you consider yourself a liberal, if you’re gay - you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness - you saw what it’s like under German National Socialism - which is today’s Progressivism, brainwashed by Islamism. Let’s fight and reject this horrific evil of Islamism together. There is no other way.

Over this past year, we’ve learned anew the strength that we have as a nation. And if you’ve read recent headlines regarding funding rounds and exits of Israeli startups, you will see a clear demonstration of resilience in action. According to a recent report by Startup Nation Central, the Israel tech ecosystem has recently completed: - 220 private investment rounds - An estimated $3.1 billion raised - $3.7 billion in M&A transactions - 20 new venture capital funds were established, raising $1.7 billion And it’s not just internal optimism. A recent poll conducted by the global accounting company Ernst & Young showed that about 60% of multinational companies expressed confidence in the Israeli tech industry. Some might say that what happens in Israel is simply miraculous. I say that it’s because of the resilience, grit, determination, creativity, innovation and perseverance of our people. And Google Cloud Israel is proud to support our hi-tech community, from early stage to enterprise and everyone in the middle. 76 years and counting… Israeli tech continues to deliver No Matter What. https://lnkd.in/dbpvwcuW. #GoogleCloud #CloudForIsrael #StartupNation #Resilience #NoMatterWhat

Reflecting on my journey in the tech industry, I recently shared some thoughts during an interview at the Top Summit conference. When asked by Daphna Liel "If you could go back in time, what advice would you give to your younger self?" I emphasized the importance of being dynamic, flexible, and curious. In today's rapidly evolving world, where digital tools and AI often surpass human capabilities, our innate curiosity and desire to learn set us apart. The unprecedented pace of change highlights that continuous learning and adaptability are key to success. It's a reminder that we all have something to learn, no matter where we are in our journey For a deeper dive into this discussion, you can read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/daWvfNsh

That's how you create an experience that users can't resist! 2️⃣ Busting the Western Happiness Myth 🎭 Time to challenge our achievement-obsessed culture! Graham's 2021 study on global happiness shows that joy isn't about ticking off accomplishments. It's about meaningful experiences and connections. How can we reflect this in our tech solutions? 3️⃣ Sustainable Habits: The New Product Design Gold Standard 🏆 We're not just after downloads; we're cultivating life-changing habits. The 2024 AI report points to a future where tech doesn't just track behavior—it nurtures positive patterns. Imagine an app that learns from your happiest moments and guides you towards more. That's the future of product design! 4️⃣ User Feedback: Your Innovation Supercharger 🚀 The EURAD study (2024) confirms it: continuous user input is the key to product evolution. Think of your users as co-pilots in your happiness mission. Their feedback isn't just valuable—it's essential for creating truly impactful products.🌟 Join the Tech for Good Revolution! With tech as our catalyst, we're on the cusp of a happiness revolution. By integrating positive psychology, challenging happiness misconceptions, fostering sustainable habits, and embracing user feedback, we're not just improving products—we're elevating the entire digital experience.
