Hey there!

I'm Gal

I'm a builder, founder, and entrepreneur with a passion for product management. I take customer problems and turn them into productized solutions. I live in Gainesville, Florida with my beautiful wife Ola and our ferocious cat Polly. The three of us have lived in 5 different countries!

What have I done?

I have always been my own boss. Working as a private educator, I've taught hundreds of students in topics ranging from basic English to multivariate calculus. I turned my passion for teaching into my first startup, Sapient Education, and have since founded two more companies in the fintech/crypto and AI sectors.

What now?

I am working with a variety of startups to accelerate product development growth, including a B2B M&A AI product and a consumer travel health provider. I am also conducting discovery interviews and onsite visits to hospitals to continue my exploration of the healthcare system.

Interests

My friends joke about the "Gal obsessions." They aren't far off... I do dive deep into the things that interest me most. Over the course of my life, that has included a variety of valuable and sometimes less-valuable hobbies and interests.
  • Triathlons

    I've completed many running races, but I wanted to improve my swimming. I signed up for my first Olympic triathlon in Vienna and have since completed many more, including a half Ironman.

  • Skateboarding

    One of my childhood passions, skateboarding hits that adrenaline rush. Going on 20 years and still shredding!

  • Weightlifting

    I have been lifting weights and exercising since high school and never stopped. It is one of my favorite bonding experiences with family and friends.

  • Arts and crafts

    I have an entire room dedicated to art where my wife and I paint, create resin works, and knit! It's the best room in the house.

Values

I believe that our work is a reflection of who we are - pursuing every project with passion and a dedication to our values inspires and provides greater results.
  • Openness

    If you can't listen openly, you can't learn.

  • Respect

    Accepting each other's differences with respect fosters unity.

  • Honesty

    In business and in life, lying only stunts you and those around you.

  • Grit

    Life throws us challenges. Sometimes you need to grit your teeth and work through them.

  • Action over inaction

    It is better to act and fail than to stagnate and wither.
