About Me
As far as I remember, I've been an innovator. Always doubting, always asking why, but always providing real life solutions from other worlds to problems, always moving the cheese and always brave enough to do it despite opposition.
From the very beginning, I had a passion for doing something new time and time again and solving big and small problems in different spaces. My curiosity has brought me to many interesting places and experiences, throughout different technologies, industries and business models.
I'm Zviya Baron- an international expert for setting up complex systems and managing them mainly in the worlds of Energy-tech and innovation. Twenty years ago, I had the honor of being one of the founding mothers of the energy tech world in Israel, becoming one of the leading figures in the field of innovation in Israel.
I established two innovation ecosystems from scratch for two of the largest companies, and created working innovation systems that produce results - time and time again, for companies, government agencies and countries in Israel and around the world.
after 25 years in which I live, breathe and dream innovation mainly in the worlds of energy - I believe that despite the certain erosion of the word innovation, and perhaps because of it, the time has come to produce the profession and methodologies behind the establishment of innovation systems and their successful management.
A final word, what does energy have to do with it? Energy is the next revolution, after the information revolution - it is one of the keys to the fight against global warming and climate change. I discovered that the gaps between what people think and the actual way the energy market is run are huge. in the energy part,
I would love to share new technologies, explanations of how things work and the connection between energy and climate.
Thank you for choosing to go on a journey with me
