So who am I?

I am a wife, and a mother of four Boys. I am an Agile coach and lean consultant- Coaching and consulting of agile and lean methods for better productivity. For the past 16 years I have worked in the Israeli Hi-Tech industry. A Social-Work degree from the  University of Tel Aviv combined with a love of psychology drew me to organizational processes.

In my day work My Mission is to help people and organizations realize complex day to day tasks effectively. I provide coaching, training and help to get started with Scrum, agile and lean .

I particularly enjoy working with people, helping them make the most of themselves in their company. I enjoy elevating productivity , innovation, learning and creative thinking .

I am the author of the book ‘Agile Kids’, which is aimed at both parents and children. The book shows parents practical ways of how to get daily chores done, and how to improve family communication in general.

Currently I am a Director of R&D operation at Sisense, responsible for overall operation including quality , DevOps and  Agile implementations. And I enjoy doing that.
