I applied to, was accepted at, and graduated from theFIFA Master, a unique sports management course organized by FIFA. I joined the League of Ireland Champions Drogheda United FC as CEO and achieved my dream position as UEFA Venue Director, organizing Champions and Europa League matches all over Europe.

While I was making this pivot I couldn’t stop thinking about my other passion, technology. After spending over five successful years in Europe I returned to Israel wondering what to do next.
