Hi, I’m Ziv.
I’m an AI keynote speaker, engineering leader, and recovering academic with a PhD and over two decades of experience building software and leading data science and software development teams.
I’ve worked across industries — from healthcare to retail — always focused on the same question: how do you help teams do their best work? Today, that question lives at the intersection of AI and engineering culture.
My talks aren’t about hype. They’re built on the real workflows, frameworks, and mistakes I’ve seen firsthand — leading teams, shipping products, and figuring out what actually moves the needle when you bring AI into a development organization.
I’ve spoken at Dreamforce, Fullscript, TELUS, Flipp, and many more — from intimate 5-person leadership sessions to 1,000+ person all-hands keynotes. Every talk is customized. Every audience leaves with something they can use immediately.
When I’m not on stage, you’ll find me deep in code, mentoring engineering leads, or pulling espresso shots on my Lelit Elizabeth.
