Bio
Erwin Castellanos
I've worked with Oded for some time now, both at Lycos and Ybrant. He always impressed me as a go getter and a true entrepreneur. His ability to understand business models quickly, and ascertain the viability of collaboration is second to none. While efficient in his actions, Oded is also extremely effective. For instance, his negotiation and management style are second to none. Any company would be fortunate to have him on their senior team.
