About

Melbourne-based angel investor and philanthropist. Co-President of the Jewish Museum of Australia, Director of COJA (Centre of Jewish Artists), and Board of Governors member at Shenkar College of Engineering, Design, and Art in Tel Aviv. I invest in deep tech, healthcare, biotech, creative economy companies and some boring things. I'm drawn to founders who are building something real and who want a sounding board, not just a cheque. My philanthropic work is guided by a simple idea: help people become self-sufficient. Through mentoring, making introductions, and backing underrepresented voices, I try to be useful. The best part of this work is watching someone realise what they're capable of. I'm a lifelong learner, a collector of art and robots, and I believe the most interesting things happen when you connect people who wouldn't normally meet.
