I woke up sad, missing my home and the country I love, Israel.

A Dark Place
We are in a dark place. That which made us human turns out to be very fragile. Hatred seems to be a stronger emotion than love, anger more intense than understanding.

Why I went back to work
This week, I accepted a board position and, more significantly, a very intense advisory role in a Nasdaq-listed company called Renovaro (Renb), which is acquiring a medical AI company called GEDi Cube (subject to shareholders’ approval).

Here is an update on my quest to create an audio book using a voice clone

Think more and do less.
Think more and do less. When I was writing my book, The Flight of a Wild Duck, I intended to have a section on the lessons I learned over my fifty year career. But after three years of working on the book which was already over three hundred pages, I decided to separate the lesson … Continue reading
For Strategic Investors, You Are a Tactic
As a founder and one of the leaders of Intel Capital, one of the world’s most successful corporate venture groups, I am frequently approached by entrepreneurs seeking advice on securing investments from strategic investors. Strategic investors primarily invest to bolster their strategic objectives. For example, during my tenure as Corporate Vice President of Business Development … Continue reading
My Voice Clone Experiment
Many people have asked me to create an audio version of my book, The Flight of a Wild Duck. I understand that some people prefer to listen to books rather than read them. I find it a bit strange. I love reading, although I appreciate that for some, it is easier to find the time … Continue reading
