​

 

I am a passionate musician and innovation leader, and have spent most of my professional career leading and promoting projects that use innovative technology to promote and expand music recommendations and listening.

​

I am an autodidact particularly inspired by the effect of music on human minds and hearts, exploring this topic over the last five years in many contexts while learning from world-leading brain researchers, neurosurgeons and bio-engineers. I still play the piano, not professionally, mostly in classical repertoires, and have also studied how to conduct orchestras.

 

​As an entrepreneur and business executive, I have over 18 years of experience in the new media, telecommunications, internet, mobile and digital-health industries, leading several innovations from inception and product strategy, to development and product management, to commercialization in global markets. My track record includes closing successful deals with global vendors, mobile operators, and content companies, as well as winning global awards and prizes. 

 

These days I'm leading a new venture named Rubato. The company is developing an innovative technology that matches music to the listener’s physiological and psychological
state. It uses algorithms and machine-learned data, based on bio-metrics and musical attributes.

Its mission is to recommend music that scientifically optimize well-being while exposing individuals to new repertoire of music.
