Strategic technology adviser

Advantage is created, not bought.

I work with governments and institutions to turn difficult technology and security problems into capabilities that work. The work sits where cyber, AI and critical systems meet policy, organization and execution.

The Israeli experience

Cybersecurity in Israel Springer, with Isaac Ben-Israel

Israel’s cyber advantage did not come from technology alone. It grew from the way government, industry and universities connect talent, knowledge and risk.

My work examines what can be transferred from that system, and what cannot.

Where I work

  • Cyber power and national capability

    National cyber strategy is not a document. It is the institutional ability to set priorities, coordinate responsibility and sustain action.

  • AI and decision advantage

    AI matters when it improves a consequential decision. The work begins with the decision, then the organization, data and operating model required to change what happens next.

  • Critical systems and digital trust

    Essential services depend on sectors, not single organizations. Resilience requires providers, regulators, supply chains and state institutions to operate as one system.

Method

I use systems thinking to define the decision, the institutional capability and the path to implementation.

The point is not another assessment. It is a capability that remains after the project ends.
