Screenshot 2025-07-16 at 11.09.01 AM.png"I've always had a fascination with puzzles and technology, taking apart electronic devices and computers as a young boy and putting them back together again. My curiosity led me to pursue a degree in electronic engineering with a telecommunication specialization and my military service was spent in a technological unit. My M.B.A. breaks that pattern but has broadened my understanding of business, intrapreneurship, and innovation.

 

As a Systems Engineer and then Systems Engineering Manager at Cisco, I had the opportunity to solve complex business challenges for my customers using the full depth of the company's portfolio. It was like unlocking the keys to a never-ending supply of puzzle pieces. My exposure to programmability and automation through DevNet ignited a new passion and I became the Programmability Practice Leader for EMEA-South, inspiring others with my enthusiasm. My experience in product management grew as I took on a PM role at Meraki, where I now combine my passions for networking, programmability, and product management as the PM for Meraki's developer platform and ecosystem.

 

Aside from my career, I strive to positively impact the world by volunteering in education. I have worked with at-risk youth to keep them in school and supported young Israeli Ethiopians in obtaining Cisco certifications, enabling them to transition into high-tech positions they may not have had access to otherwise."
