Our Team

I love helping founders realize their dreams. My favorite part of the job is working with a company from the early days to the exit and watching the team learn and grow along the way.

I'm left-handed.

Ride bikes, catch up on house and yard projects, go out for dinner, play lawn games and board games with friends.

Take time.

Short emails get read.

I find inspiration in the dynamic nature of the tech industry, at the cross way between innovation and disruption, where we address exciting legal challenges.

If I weren’t a tech lawyer, I’d likely be involved in strategic business consulting.

An unexpected fact about me is that when I was younger I was very afraid to snorkel, while now I am learning to scuba dive.

I'm most excited to witness advancements in biotechnology that reshape the healthcare landscape. I’ve been representing Cerba HealthCare for several years, a European leading company in pathology, imaging and outpatient diagnostic.

My ideal weekend involves a mix of outdoor activities and quality time with family and friends.

The best advice I've received is to embrace change as an opportunity for growth.

My mantra is "Navigate complexity with clarity and maintain conviction."

Working with tech companies is inherently about people - the founders and team members that we work with so closely throughout the company's life cycle, the investors who support the companies with capital and counsel, and the customers who benefit from solutions that the companies are bringing to life. I love being part of the process of nurturing both the companies and the teams that support them, throughout the entire journey of each company.

I find inspiration in so many different places - a sunset on a mountain vista, a baker who has perfected his craft, a new city to explore - full of history and culture, and people, both familiar and new, to go on adventures with. We live in an amazing world filled with people creating new and exciting things all the time. It would be difficult to not be inspired.

If I weren't a tech lawyer, I'd have a number of options to consider. I might embark on becoming a teacher or maybe open a cookie shop. I might try traveling for a while to explore the world or even go back to my roots and pick up tour guiding again, escorting travelers to our beautiful national parks. I would also consider honing my non-legal writing skills and put prose and story to paper.

"The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry is one of my favorite books of all time - filled with adventure and wonder, yet accessible to readers of all types. There are hidden treasures of knowledge scattered throughout the book, along with a healthy portion of humor. I highly recommend that everyone pick it up and keep a copy in their home so they can read and re-read it over the years.

I love working with optimistic, energetic and inspirational people and there's no better group of people to work with than entrepreneurs. Each founder I've ever worked with has wanted to make the world a better place in some way and has found the courage and determination to get started and create something.

I'd be a vet. Animals, particularly dogs, are a passion of mine, which is why I have two dogs who are a source of endless joy.

I grew up in Israel, Kenya and the UK. To this day, I love moving into new houses or new locations. It always feels like an adventure and an opportunity to start fresh.

Don't take no for an answer :)

The best part of working with tech companies is getting the chance to be a part of their journey. Whether that's getting a tour of their first office, meeting their first employee or celebrating unicorn status - every milestone is a special one.

SportsTech. The sports industry has been slow to take advantage of all the exciting opportunities and improvements that tech can provide. A new wave of SportsTech start-ups looks set to change that.

Family, country walks, pub lunches and lots of sport.

The most rewarding part of my job is relationships. I've been fortunate to develop relationships with some of the world's leading startup founders and venture capitalists. My support for Accrue Savings is particularly rewarding -- I've known the founder, Michael Hershfield, for more than 30 years, and it's incredibly gratifying to support a long-time friend in the startup journey.

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication

I enjoyed working with Stripe to develop Stripe Atlas, a groundbreaking platform that allows Stripe to assist its customers to quickly form US companies. The project spanned from the initial concept to the concrete processes needed to make its innovative platform available to the public.

In addition to my work in the US, during my first year of practice, I negotiated legal agreements in Canada, England (for a project in Egypt), and Colombia.

Clean, sustainable energy.

Skiing powder on Saturday followed by a bike or boat ride on Sunday.

Pablo Picasso's massive, haunting Guernica oil painting which depicts the Nazi bombardment of the city at the behest of General Franco during the Spanish Civil War.

The world is too much with us.

I could not think of a better way to use my legal degree than helping entrepreneurs and investors bring cutting-edge ideas to life!

Embracing the slower pace of life in Greece family helps me recharge the batteries and find inspiration in the ordinary and extraordinary alike.

I'd give being a sea captain a try.

I still know my way around a violin and guitar, but much prefer listening to artists who can play either instrument (and, in particular, the electric violin)!
