Product & R&D Operations Consultant · Tel Aviv, IL · Available for Engagements

Product & R&D teams lose months to unclear priorities and reactive firefighting. I fix that - without a 6-month hiring process. I come in while you're still searching for the right full-time hire, or simply when execution needs to scale faster than your team can manage alone. I stabilize what's breaking, build the operating structure, and make sure things keep moving.

"Most operators bring process. Most innovators lack structure. I bring both - and that combination is what turns stuck organizations into ones that deliver."

- Hadas Segev

Execution that
actually lands

The problems I solve rarely have off-the-shelf answers. Every engagement is designed around your specific situation - not adapted from a template. I work inside your team to design and implement solutions that are built to last.

Prioritization Frameworks

Build decision systems that align Product, Engineering & business inputs into a single, defensible roadmap. No more competing priorities - just clarity.

Execution Cadence & Governance

Design cross-functional operating rhythms that reduce escalations and improve delivery predictability. Structures that stick long after the engagement ends.

Customer Feedback Systems

Transform fragmented customer input into structured, data-driven product decisions. Turn 1,200 voices into one clear signal.

AI-Enabled Workflows

Implement automation where it removes real bottlenecks - not just where it sounds impressive. Measurable impact, not hype.

Stalled Project Recovery

One engagement, one outcome. I come in, diagnose what's blocking delivery, realign the stakeholders, and drive the project to completion. No retainer needed - just results.

Complex Program Build

When you need to stand up a large, multi-team program from scratch - I design the structure, define the governance, and run it end-to-end until it's self-sustaining.

Where I
come in

Some teams are mid-hire. Others have the people but not the structure. Either way, execution is slipping and waiting isn't an option.

Hiring, but execution won't wait

You're mid-search for a Product Ops or Program Manager role. The right hire is months away. I come in now, stabilize execution, and hand over a functioning operating model when your hire lands.

Scaling faster than your process can handle

The team is growing - or just got more complex - and the old way of working is starting to crack. No new hire needed, just someone to build the structure that matches where you are now.

Priorities shift weekly

Nobody agrees on what matters most. Product, Engineering, and leadership are pulling in different directions. Roadmap decisions feel more political than data-driven.

A program is stalled

Cross-functional delivery has broken down. Stakeholders are misaligned. Someone needs to diagnose what's blocking it, rebuild momentum, and drive it to completion.

Where experience
meets creative thinking

Most operators bring process. Most innovators lack structure. I bring both. Across 20+ years and wildly different organizations - from a 60,000-person global pharma to a fast-moving SaaS - I've solved problems that didn't have a playbook. I see what others miss, design solutions others don't think of, and build the operational infrastructure to make them real. That combination is rare.

  • Experience + creativity - I don't reach for the standard playbook. I diagnose your specific situation and design a solution that fits it.

  • Embedded, not remote - I work inside your team, not as an outside observer handing over deliverables.

  • Innovation with structure - I combine creative thinking, AI-enabled workflows, and operational rigor to design solutions that actually get implemented.

  • Implementation, not advice - I build the frameworks, run the sessions, configure the tools, and stay until it works.

  • Trust as a foundation - Complex cross-functional change requires people to follow. I earn that trust.
