About

Ishay is a seasoned product leader and strategic advisor with deep expertise in building and scaling AI-backed products and data platforms, particularly in 0-to-1 environments. He understands that successfully deploying AI/ML solutions requires more than technical prowess. It demands strategic foresight to identify differentiated applications that create defensible value, especially as foundational AI models rapidly advance and the 'cost per unit of intelligence' declines. Ishay excels at navigating the unique tradeoffs, common pitfalls, and necessary organisational shifts this landscape presents, translating deep-tech complexities and their inherent uncertainties into tangible user value and durable business outcomes.

With a robust background spanning B2C, B2B, and B2G sectors, Ishay has a proven track record of leading cross-functional teams to deliver impactful AI-driven solutions. His success stems from a pragmatic approach that anticipates the common pitfalls of AI development, from managing ambiguous R&D cycles to defining meaningful success metrics. He focuses on leveraging an organisation's unique data, domain expertise, or proprietary insights to build AI capabilities that are not easily replicated, ensuring that investments yield sustainable competitive advantage rather than fleeting novelty.

As a founding member of The Quiet Edge Collective, Ishay contributes his insights on navigating the product lifecycle for productionising AI. He helps organisations de-risk innovation by addressing AI-specific misconceptions early, accelerate product roadmaps with realistic priorities, and make informed strategic bets on differentiated AI initiatives that are built to last in a rapidly evolving technological ecosystem.
