About Boaz

I help organizations unlock growth, resilience, and measurable impact by bridging strategy, technology, and execution. With over 25 years of experience in strategic consulting, digital transformation, and Industry 4.0, I bring a unique ability to align vision with delivery—ensuring that bold ideas translate into tangible results.

What makes me stand out is my combination of government leadership, industrial expertise, and consulting excellence. I’ve led national digital programs at Israel’s Ministry of Economy and Industry, driven large-scale transformations with AVIV Management & Consulting and Shaldor, and guided companies to adopt smart manufacturing, process innovation, and advanced business models.

My added value lies in combining structured, data-driven problem-solving with the ability to mobilize ecosystems—governments, industries, and global partners—around innovation. I help executives move from complexity to clarity, from aspiration to measurable ROI.

The projects I typically lead include:

Business strategy formulation and operating model design for industrial and technology companies.

Digital and Industry 4.0 transformations, including Smart Factory, MES/PLM integration, and data-driven operations.

Change management and capability building, empowering organizations to sustain transformation.

Public–private initiatives and cross-sector collaborations, linking government, academia, and industry.

Executive training and lecturing, teaching strategy, strategic thinking, and applied Industry 4.0.
