Our dearest Hadas is starting the next chapter in her journey. It is always so difficult to part ways with a member of the family 😥 Hadas - The Kitchen would have not been what it is today without you. THANK YOU. for everything! The Kitchen Family.
After 3+ fulfilling years at The Kitchen Hub, soon it's time to leave for my next professional adventure. I find it bittersweet to close this chapter, for The Kitchen has truly become my second family, but I can say that this has been one hell of a ride 🎢: ✨Escort and work hand-in-hand with an exceptional group of purpose-driven entrepreneurs from The Kitchen portfolio. ✨Lead one of the largest FoodTech summits in the world, #FoodTechIL (Rest assured, this baby isn't being left behind just yet – I'm committed to seeing it through and ensuring its continued success). ✨Promote the brand of The Kitchen globally, through organizing events, executing PR strategies and showing our innovation on digital assets and at Demo-Days. ✨Support and create value for the Israeli FoodTech community through meetups, opportunities and collaborations. Foremost, I would like to thank two exceptional individuals, from the founders of the Israeli FoodTech: Amir Zaidman and Jonathan Berger. Your belief and willingness to entrust me with pivotal decisions have been instrumental in my growth. The Kitchen Dream Team- you are truly the real deal, a professional group of people whom I admire: Dorit Rozner, PhD, David Leibler, Shaked David, Gali Nimni Reiner To all the visionary CEOs within The Kitchen's portfolio – you are the driving force behind our collective mission. I'm grateful for the opportunity to have played a part in your journey to success. Hadar Ekhoiz Razmovich, Anat Natan, Maya Ashkenazi Otmazgin, Roy Naaman, Roee Nir, Eyal Afergan, Ph.D , Gal Shamri, Oren Zilberman, Shalom Daniel, Daniel Rejzner, Tal Malca Salhuv, Tal Govrin, Liron Nimrodi, Eran Gronich, Lilach Weisz (PhD), Steve Grün, Moran Avni, Jonathan Goshen, ilan Samish, Didier Toubia, Daphna Heffetz, Gali Yarom, Ofer Shoham, Barak Melamed I'm also thankful for the invaluable relationships I've gained with FoodTech leaders from around the globe- too many amazing people and friends I can't tag because of Linkedin's tagging limit. And also for the professional colleagues and friends from Strauss Group: Dagan Eshel, Liron Ben Yaakov, Eden Halfa - Fishelevitz, Elad Komissar, Assi Aharon I'm excited to stay closely aligned with the FoodTech ecosystem. So, let's not say goodbye just yet. Here's to new beginnings, exciting (and sustainable) adventures! 🍻
