I am an Advantagizer, an expert in identifying growth opportunities and creating competitive advantages and even private monopolies for companies and brands. I integrate winning competitive strategies with profitable business models and psychologically powerful branding.
I am the CEO of Competitive Advantages (www.advantagizers.com), an international firm specializing in strategy consulting and the development and marketing of knowledge based products. Together with my highly trained team, I create Unique Success Formulas, Electrifying Marketing triumphs, Emotionally Significant Brands, and Short Term Hit brands, for my clients worldwide ranging from local mid-sized companies to Fortune Global 500 corporations.
Among the many organizations and brands I worked with are:

I am a shareholder and active member of the board of directors of several consulting firms throughout Europe as well as of Elyakim-Herman advertising.
My executive and business experience includes holding positions as: VP Marketing of Migdal Group (Israel’s largest group of Insurance and financial services and subsidiary of the European Generali), Senior VP of Dahaf Group (advertising, home shopping TV channel, marketing services and consumer research) and Deputy Director General for Strategy and Research at Bauman-Ber Advertising (Saatchi & Saatchi). I taught at Bar Ilan University and other institutions of higher education in Israel.
