The MAYU Swirl harnesses the gentle, elemental power of the spiral motion found throughout the universe to deliver reoxygenated, reanimated, rebalanced, re-sculpted and rejuvenated water that tastes and hydrates the way nature intended. Water was meant to move but when it is stands still in pipes, it loses the energy your body needs for complete hydration. Just like wine needs to breathe to express its best flavor, the MAYU Swirl’s whirlpool motion recaptures lost vitality by infusing oxygen to balance, alkalize and restore your water’s true taste and texture — just 6,000 times faster.

I reside in Tel-Aviv by the shores of the Mediterranean, (still) raising 3 grown-up kids, and enjoy open-sea swimming. I am an executive and entrepreneur in advanced technology, recently focusing on breakthrough water desalination and treatment technologies. I founded and headed the Water Reuse Business Unit at IDE Technologies – leading the business case for advanced methods of membranal purification of treated wastewater. I later led the Product Management team at Fluence Corp. (ASE: FLC), promoting market adaptation for new membrane-based products for sewage treatment and seawater desalination.

I implemented advanced water technology pilot installations and water treatment projects in China, Philippines, India, Spain, Taiwan, Norway and USA.

Prior to my Water career I had been in Venture Capital investments, I founded and managed a Software startup and a DIY recreational center, I led Corporate Spin-off of advanced image processing startup, and I designed UI/UX for Israeli Air-Force F-16 cockpit systems.

Company: China Live Ventures

I look back on my 15 years of private equity investment experience with enthusiasm. I was fortunate to work with companies in a wide range of industries from consumer products and services to B2B sectors such as online marketing and media. I enjoyed all aspects of my work: taking deep dives researching industries and competitors, originating investment opportunities, performing due diligence on companies, structuring and negotiating financial partnerships and working with management teams to build thriving organizations.

As a financial consultant, I have enjoyed a closer connection with management and the impact I can have on solving problems and streamlining processes. I have found my “superpowers” in this role to be my positive can-do attitude when faced with complex business issues, my discipline and determination to establish focused goals to grow businesses and my hardworking “get it done” approach to executing on the plan.

I am passionate about a variety of social causes including supporting and mentoring women in business, climate change and financial equity and education. I look forward to finding my next role where I can blend my joy of investing and/or consulting with my desire to make a positive impact in the world.
