I build operations that scaleand partnerships that stick.
Fifteen-plus years building the systems that make growth sustainable — across fintech, defense, and the public sector in Israel, the U.S., and MENA.
A record measured in outcomes.
Across fintech, government, and retail-tech programs — 2017–2026.
I’m an operations and business development leader who builds the systems that make growth sustainable — CRMs, onboarding infrastructure, go-to-market playbooks, and the teams that run them. I’ve launched city-scale fintech programs across the U.S., managed national security contracts with Israeli ministries, and protected U.S. diplomatic assets. I work best at the intersection of strategy and execution, in environments where complexity is the norm.
The work, in depth.
ReaLo
As Director of Operations at ReaLo, I architected the operational backbone enabling a global retail network to run predictably at scale — from building the end-to-end service operations system to driving cross-functional alignment across teams and geographies.
Colu
At Colu I owned the full US market expansion — building the in-market operating model, managing municipal government relationships, and driving the pipeline and renewals engine. I built and led a cross-functional team of 10 across operations, customer success, and account management.
Genesis MENA
A consulting role spanning public and private sector clients across the MENA region. Supervised OPSEC operations in security-sensitive environments while identifying and pursuing new market opportunities — managing partner relationships end-to-end from capture through delivery.
INSS
At the Institute for National Security Studies, I held full P&L ownership of a $1M+ multi-year government contract — managing delivery, budgeting, and compliance while serving as senior liaison to Israeli defense ministries and international partners across three continents.
U.S. Department of State — Embassy Israel
Served directly inside the US Embassy in Israel as a Security Officer under the Department of State — protecting the Ambassador, Deputy Ambassador, and high-value assets while operating in a high-trust, zero-error environment governed by strict US Government protocols.
Israel Defense Forces — Golani Brigade
Served as a Staff Sergeant in IDF Golani Reconnaissance — one of the IDF's most demanding infantry roles. Specialized in cross-border missions, navigation, and combat medicine, graduating top of class in both Reconnaissance and Combat Medic courses.
Independent AI projects.
Functional prototypes built outside of work — applying AI pipelines to real problems in information, intelligence, and analysis.
Multi-Perspectival News Synthesis Engine
A functional prototype that aggregates news across sources and surfaces differing perspectives on the same event, built as a five-stage AI pipeline (ingest, cluster, analyze, annotate, generate). Architected end-to-end, including build-vs-buy and orchestration decisions across the stack.
Coordinated Inauthentic Behavior (CIB) Detection Engine
A functional prototype that analyzes online activity to surface signs of coordinated inauthentic behavior and influence campaigns, flagging suspected networks for review. Detection logic and pipeline designed end-to-end, applying AI to a real signal-detection and threat-analysis problem.
What I work with.
In their own words.
I had the privilege of working closely with Gideon, our Director of Operations, while I worked as a Project Manager in a high-tech retail media environment. Recommending him is easy: he’s the kind of leader you don’t just “work with”, you learn from him, grow because of him, and remember him long af…
I am writing to offer my unreserved recommendation for Gideon, with whom I had the privilege of working at Colu Technologies for a period of two years. In my capacity as Customer Success Manager, I had the distinct pleasure of engaging with Gideon daily — amassing over 700 daily interactions that hi…
I had the privilege of working with Gideon at Colu, where his leadership and operational acumen were truly exceptional. Gideon’s strategic vision and outstanding interpersonal skills were instrumental in the success of our projects, particularly the app’s deployment in Utica. He cultivates a collabo…

Open to the right opportunity — strategy, operations, or BD leadership. No friction. Direct links only.
