Hi, I'm Lior.

I help people, managers, and organizations adapt to change.

20+ years of helping leaders navigate uncertainty

I've built companies, written books, started a podcast, and worked with hundreds of organizations. Through it all, I've learned one thing: the world moves fast, and the people who adapt thrive.

My background is unusual. I studied both engineering and philosophy. That combination shaped how I think: technically precise, but also asking the deeper questions about meaning and purpose.

Everything I share comes from real experience — the mistakes I've made, the lessons I've learned, and the tools that actually work in the chaotic reality of work.

My journey

Electronics engineer → Philosophy student

B.Sc. in Electronics Engineering (Technion). M.A. in History and Philosophy. I learned to think systematically and to ask "why."

3 startups founded (2 acquired)

Built companies from scratch. Learned what it takes to survive and scale. Made mistakes that cost money. Made decisions that changed the course of thousands of people's careers.

Chief Product Officer at Jolt

Led product strategy for a company from startup to scale. Built teams. Hired, fired, promoted. Managed through crisis and growth.

5 books. 3 bestsellers

"The Little Book for New Managers" became the #1 bestselling management book. Over 30,000 readers.

Podcast: Popcorn — Top 1% global

340+ episodes. 4M+ listeners. Deep conversations about work, life, change, and how to stay sane in a chaotic world.

Speaker & advisor

Keynotes and workshops at Google, Microsoft, Intel, Nestlé, EY, Playtika, Unilever, Fiverr, and 100+ other organizations.

How I work

Practical over theoretical

You don't need more concepts. You need tools you can use tomorrow morning. Every idea ends with "so what do you actually do?"

Real over perfect

I don't have all the answers. The world is uncertain. I share what I've learned, but I also admit what I don't know.

Honest over polished

No buzzwords. No corporate speak. Just plain language about the hard parts of work and how humans actually deal with them.

On stage

Speaking to thousands of leaders

Keynotes and workshops at Google, Microsoft, Intel, Nestlé, EY, Playtika, Fiverr, KPMG, and 100+ organizations worldwide.
