Want to help shape the future of a bold Israeli-led company in the U.S.?

Are you a sharp, culture-aware leader looking for your next big move?
We connect exceptional talent with Israeli-founded startups and tech companies operating in the U.S. – and we’re always on the lookout for executives, operators, and builders who thrive in founder-led, fast-moving environments.

This isn’t just about jobs. It’s about landing the right role – one that matches your mindset, your pace, and your ambition.

The Talent We’re Hired to Find

Wondering how to land an executive role at a U.S.-based Israeli startup?

We work with founders who want culturally fluent, independent, and impact-driven talent.
Here’s what they’re looking for – and how you can stand out.
What kind of cultural mindset do Israeli startups value in U.S.-based executives?

🌍 Culturally Curious

You thrive in cross-cultural environments and lean into differences with curiosity and respect.

What motivates the executives to join Israeli startups in the U.S?

💥 Impact-Driven

You’re not here to fill a role – you want your work to matter. You measure success by the dent you leave behind.

How do successful executives behave when facing fast-moving, uncertain situations?

🦁 Bold Operators

You take initiative, move fast, and make confident decisions – even without perfect data or permission.

What level of independence do Israeli-founded startups expect from executives?

⏱️ Thrive Independently

You know how to manage your time, energy, and outcomes – without being micromanaged.

How do startups benefit from talent that blends tech skills with creativity?

💡 Tech-Driven & Creatively Wired

You bring both left-brain logic and right-brain imagination. You think in systems, but play with ideas.

What does it mean to have both Israeli and American business sensibilities?

American by Experience, Israeli by Mindset

You live the American market but think like a founder with a bit Chutzpa. You get the pace, the passion, and the no-nonsense style – and you know how to translate it into results.

What type of builders thrive in early-stage or rapidly scaling teams?

🛠️ Lean-Minded Builders

You love building things from scratch – and you care about efficiency, not bureaucracy.

How should executives balance strategy & hands-on leadership in startups?

🧠 Strategic, Yet Hands-On

You can think big-picture, but aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. Vision without ego.

How do I get hired by an Israeli startup in the U.S.?

Israeli startups hiring in the U.S. look for leaders who are mission-driven, culturally fluent, and able to thrive in fast-paced, founder-led environments.

What makes candidates stand out in founder-led companies?

Founders look for bold operators who take initiative, adapt quickly, and communicate clearly – especially when data is incomplete.

Do I need to speak Hebrew or be Israeli to work with you?

No. The roles we fill are U.S.-based and led in English. Cultural fluency matters more than language, and we work with diverse executives from many backgrounds.

Truly Stands Out

I have had the pleasure of working with Edith for more than ten years on placements for both sides; assisting me getting placed and assisting me filling roles in companies that I had been involved with.
Edith can handle even the toughest clients—effortlessly. She would be an asset to any Executive and Hiring Manager.

Like a Walk in the Park

I had the pleasure to be placed at a high profile position with Edith's help and support. I would highly recommend both employers and job seekers to rely on her experience and wealth of knowledge. Edith has the soft skills of making a fairly stressful process seem like a walk in the park.

Took the Time to Learn

Edith was great to work with. She took the time to learn my professional needs in order to help me find a position with an excellent company with which I have been employed with for the past 8 years. She is professional and personable and I would highly recommend working with her.

Provides Unique Value
