Lior Frenkel is exploring adaptation to our new world.
Hi, it's Lior. I'm an entrepreneur, product management executive consultant, and a creator. My career spans over 20 years in the industry – I've founded three start-ups (two acquired), managed dozens of people, processes and products, and survived to share my learnings over a 8-years blog, 6-years podcast, 5 books (3 best-sellers), and multiple workshops I've ran for clients (Google, Intel, Microsoft, and many of the top organizations in Israel).
The last 14 years
I was the chief product officer and co-founder @ Jolt, where we've build a new type of a university. Check it out.
Before that, I've founded The nuSchool – an online business school for creative freelancers (Read more on Forbes.) We then pivoted to Prospero (acquired)– magical proposal creator for creatives.
Before that I was the CTO and co-founder at Moovu. It stared as a smart bracelet and ended as a not-so-successful too-early version of TikTok. How did it go? Well, let's just say TikTok are doing much better, but we've learned much about how to run a Startup.
UNDIGITIZE.ME
Back in 2013, I've founded a non-profit project designed to raise awareness to smartphone addiction. This TEDx youtube will tell you that story.
Books & Writing
I've written articles for places like Wired Magazine, and blog posts for many outlets (including this website). I've written 5 books – 3 in Hebrew, 2 in English, and co-written a kids' book
