Bio
Ken Ishizaki
Avner is one of the most insightful and knowledgeable people I've met in the healthcare technology space. I had the pleasure to work with Avner at Uptake and worked side-to-side as we ramped up the healthcare practice. Avner is a pleasure to be around and an incredible team player.
Paul Boxrud
I had the distinct pleasure of having Avner as my immediate supervisor during his four years at Olis. As a staff scientist and product manager, I worked with Avner to coordinate production and the development of new products. During this time, Avner successfully implemented significant improvements in these processes, and helped guide the company through some serious challenges. He was able to effectively use the tools given to him, even writing production managing software that is still in use today. I found Avner to be hard working, efficient, and a strategic thinker. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Avner, and I feel that he would be a great asset for any company that is fortunate enough to have him.
