Two Years at HiBob: Lessons Learned and Shots Taken Today, I celebrate my second anniversary at HiBob, reflecting on a journey that profoundly deepened my commitment to a growth mindset. Just last week, our leadership team gathered for a retrospective that highlighted not just our successes but the spirit in which we achieve them. While one group showcased their exceptional completion of features for the Q, going 100% on their top priorities, it was Israel David’s, our CTO and cofounder,  reaction that truly encapsulated what HiBob is all about. He applauded their achievements but pushed us further with a critical question: "Everything’s green, yet,  are we truly challenging us?" ( in this case they challenged them selves, yet, the important point here is the question itself) Israel David’s question resonated deeply with me, sparking a reflection on our goals and methods. He likened our strategy to shooting from the three-point line in basketball, emphasizing that our real aim isn't merely to achieve the easily attainable but to set goals that challenge us to extend beyond our perceived limits, even if we risk missing. This mindset reflects the resilience and boldness I admire, by pushing past conventional boundaries. At HiBob , we're encouraged, at all levels,  not just to meet our targets but to engage with each challenge fully, learning from every attempt and growing with each project. Over these two years, I've embraced every opportunity to take my shot, successful or not, knowing each effort contributes to my growth. This culture of continual learning and pushing past comfort zones is what makes my time at HiBob truly transformative. Shoutout to my manager Ido Stern, and my peers  Hagai Levin , Doron Cyngiser , Tsach Moshkovits, Yishai Halpert,Ori Danus and Gal Schwartz Maman And to my leads, Tal Almog, Eilon Levin, Roey Shemla, Avigail Berger, David Ohana, Roy Huna, Michael Cohen, Boris Kushnir, Guy Linksman, Ori Vidra, Vittorio Scibetta, Yonatan Rosemarin and Ofer Pen for consistently transforming challenges into opportunities for learning and growth, making this journey a remarkable one. Looking ahead, I’m thrilled to continue this journey, eager for the lessons and growth that await with each new challenge. #WorkAnniversary #GrowthMindset #ProfessionalDevelopment #hibob

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

This is my new work uniform: Two weeks ago several of my coworkers were fired for calling for an end to Project Nimbus - a joint contract between Google and Amazon signed in 2021 which provides cloud services to the Israeli government and its military. This was the most recent of many attempts by workers to end the contract. Google should not be providing its services to ANY military. As a global company with billions of users, in nearly every country, making more money than many GDPs, it is an abuse of power and inhumane. Any technology can be used for benefit or detriment. A hammer can build a house and also bash a skull. I’m proud of the technology that Google has developed to facilitate early cancer detection, connect people during crisis and facilitate accessibility. Those same technologies will be used by militaries to kill. Google has a duty to be a responsible steward of its products. Aside from the moral issues, Google’s military contracts are a sign of competitive weakness. To enter this space should be a sign to investors that Google is desperate to maintain revenue growth. Google is a publicly traded company owned by the totality of its shareholders - not its leadership. If leadership is not making good decisions, we have a right to change its leadership. @notechforapardtheid #ceasefirenow #stopfundinggenocide #freepalestine

Recently I was at an event at Google, and they were ranking the top technological-ecosystems in the world. Tel Aviv was number 3. Even after the last year, we have demonstrated an incredible commitment to our ideas, our development, and yes — our dreams. One of the most beautiful aspects to me about Dreemz is how it’s part of this larger picture of Israeli-Tech-sector resilience. By putting our companies, and our visions, out there in these unprecedented times, it helps define companies like Dreemz as part of the very fabric of innovation and perseverance that defines Israeli-tech. We’re not just promoting one vision — we’re trying to foster a culture of optimism and collaboration, even when many peoples’ instincts try and get them to behave more cautiously. I believe that actively showcasing Dreemz’s progress, success, and adaptability, demonstrates that the broader Israeli-tech sector is strong, and unified. And our commitment to reaching our goals and engaging with our user base and investors becomes even more crucial, as part of this larger backdrop. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to be part of the fabric of what keeps us thriving, dreaming, and growing. And knowing that supporting companies like Dreemz is part of the way that we can support Israel. #israel #startup #dreemz #dreams #resilience #strength

🥳 Work With Me on Iterative’s Flagship Batch Program I’m hiring a program manager to work with me on our flagship, 12 week, YC-style program. You will be responsible for running our 10th batch in February. You’ll get hands on experience with how programs like ours work, the real problems that founders face and how we help them. A few fun things about this role. 👀 Shadow Office Hours – A major part of our program is office hours between founders at Visiting Partners (including me and Brian). To do your job well, you’ll be able to sit in on different people’s office hours throughout the program. 🫵 Primary Point of Contact – You will be the primary point of contact for all of the founders in the batch. You will get an honest view on the types of problems founders actually face. Not just the stuff that gets posted on Linkedin. 👩‍🏫 Recruit Visiting Partners – We’ve been fortunate to have an incredible roster of Visiting Partners. You will be responsible for recruiting new Visiting Partners and making sure they are at least as good as the one’s we’ve had (not easy). I’m looking for 3 things. The first 2 are must haves and the last would be great but I can help teach. 1. Communication – You will need to be an effective communicator to coordinate between dozens of founders, a handful of visiting partners and hundreds of investors. 2. Organization – You get a borderline unhealthy joy from being organized. If you know, you know. 3. Design – You’re able to come up with improvements on our existing program. Our NPS score for the last batch was 95. No pressure (maybe a little). This role reports to me. I’ve been described as “demanding but supportive” so.. take this as an official warning :)

Activation - a growth point for most products. I've focused on activation across all the products I’ve worked on, dedicating a lot of time to it as an Onboarding Product Lead at Kontur Bank and Fingular. Recently, Svetlana Karlovich shared that GoPractice has launched a course specifically on this topic. https://lnkd.in/dap-XZFP I remember reading their materials on activation that used to land in my inbox, trying some of their insights in practice. Now, as a strong advocate for optimizing funnels, I’m curious to take this course and see what new approaches they have to offer.

How do you tell the story of the launch of a new insurance application and get employees engaged? at Creative Labs Israel we came up with a fun, engaging way to communicate how with the new app, the "sky's the limit" for both employees and customers. Employees got to engage with giant smartphones which highlighted some of the new app features. We used a real-time generative AI engine to then transform each employee into a unique avatar and transport them to the next level. Another great example of using creative technology to leave a lasting impression.
