Bio
Nir Minerbi
Ofer has a unique, rare combination of deep experience, passion, sales killer instinct, and above all - one of a kind personality. Classiq is a quantum computing company that participated in the Intel 'Ignite' program. Even though Ofer wasn't an official mentor of ours, he dedicated so much time and effort to helping us as a growing startup. Ofer is a leading expert in B2B sales and business development. Even though he had no experience in our specific field and market, his tips were priceless, and many of them are influencing the company long after the end of the accelerator. I can easily say that after meeting many bizdev experts and salespersons, Ofer remains a unique outlier. I wish I'd have the chance to be working with him in the future.
