As an inquisitive individual obsessed with understanding life and the world around me, my learnings and experiences have been eclectic and intentionally so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As an entrepreneur, I am the principal of a private real estate investment company and founder and CEO of Invown<\/a>, a startup in the crowdfunding and investment space. The corporate world also left its mark on me, with roles ranging from a humble individual contributor to a senior executive, where I was charged with building a scalable data science\/AI capability for a mid-size publicly traded company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alongside my foray into business, I’ve found a profound, if sometimes challenging, connection with my religious, spiritual, and educational endeavors. I earned three separate rabbinical ordinations and founded numerous organizations, including Judaism in the Foothills, The Movement for a Tolerant World, and Youth Directions. Through the latter, I developed and empirically validated a purpose discovery program. My Ph.D. research, focused on this purpose work and deepened my conviction in the work’s significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I also served as a rabbi at a synagogue in North London, UK, taught Judaic Studies at a High School, and am the lead author of a bestselling book entitled “Jewish Wisdom for Business Success: Lessons from the Torah and Other Ancient Texts<\/a>” that was published in eight languages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
