Thank you to Sigalit Ben Hayoun and Yael Steinhart for inviting me to talk to Tel Aviv University Alumni Organization — and to Assaf Gilad for moderating the discussion. Time really does fly 😅 and it was a real privilege to be back to discuss just how much has changed in tech since I first started, including the recent groundbreaking new leaps into AI. What’s incredible is the pace of innovation in this field. Current market estimates range from 3-7 years until AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) is achieved (AI systems surpassing human cognitive abilities). When this is achieved one can expect the pace of change to be the fastest we’ve ever seen in history 📈 Technology and AI is neutral - neither good or bad. What matters is what we (humans) choose to do with it. With good intent, AGI could help solve some of the biggest global challenges (health, longevity, climate change, scientific discovery). With bad intent, it can create even bigger global challenges with significant risks. That is why Google’s motto on AI is so important - to be “bold and responsible”. The stakes have never been higher. Hope humanity rises to the moment, does the right thing, and makes the right choices 🌍 Adding below in comments the link to the full discussion (tip: if you just want a summary, past the link directly into Gemini 🪄) #TelAvivUniversityAlumni #GoogleAI

I teamed up with Zsuzsa Kecsmar, Co-founder & Chief Strategy Officer at Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud , to talk about how to increase loyalty revenue by 4X by adding more engaged and VIP profiles ahead of BFCM 2025. Together with Mailability.io, we built a strategy that combines AI-powered loyalty + AI-powered email intent scoring to drive real Klaviyo revenue. Because here’s the thing: Most brands treat loyalty like a standalone program. But when it’s connected to Klaviyo and powered by intent data it becomes a scalable growth engine. Here’s the 3-step approach we mapped out: 👉 Use Antavo AI Loyalty Cloud to track loyalty tiers, reward history, referrals, and behavior, directly in Klaviyo 👉 Let Mailability.io assign real-time Intent Scores to every profile, so you know who to activate, upgrade, or re-engage 👉 Combine loyalty status + intent to trigger AI flows and campaigns that match real customer behavior What that unlocks: → Push VIPs to repurchase faster with tier-based incentives → Invite high-intent shoppers into your loyalty program at the perfect moment → Re-engage inactive members with personalized offers and AI-driven flows and campaigns The result? → Smarter audience targeting → Stronger pre-BFCM engagement → 4X+ loyalty revenue from your best customers If you’re planning to maximize retention and LTV this holiday season this one's worth a swipe. Full breakdown in the slides. Let’s make loyalty work harder. Want to learn more? → https://lnkd.in/dCdwyQ2d

Ever since Eyal Melamed joined as our VP R&D, we've been having some incredible, thought-provoking conversations. These aren't your typical executive check-ins. We get into the weeds on the technical challenges that fascinate us both - the kind of deep infrastructure work that brought Eyal to Rise in the first place. We talk about what it truly takes to make AI work at scale in ad tech - a massive undertaking that spans tackling infrastructure challenges, processing hundreds of trillions of data points in real-time, and building auction systems that simply never fail. Eyal calls our Smart Auction Management technology "one of the most sophisticated AI-powered auction engines in the industry." Coming from someone who’s seen and navigated scale at some of the most advanced tech organizations, that hits differently. This piece came out today about his take on what we've built here. https://lnkd.in/dbuSK2Nd Honestly, during all these conversations, one thing became clear to me: we’ve spent so much time building that we haven’t shared how we actually think differently about AI infrastructure. We’re built on a foundation of big data expertise - processing hundreds of trillions of data points every single day (take a moment to let that sink in..). We’ve engineered AI-based autoscaling that maintains performance at millions of requests per second. Our optimization models don’t hide behind black-box magic - they deliver transparent, explainable results.  And now, we’re layering Gen-AI on top of an infrastructure that already runs at scale like few others can imagine. So something this big calls for something new: Every week, I'll be sharing insights from our journey building AI-driven programmatic technology - the technical and strategic thinking behind systems that actually work in production. Excited to share the lessons we're learning while building AI at scale. P.S. Curious what you see here — authentic photo or AI-generated?
