Leadership

A Personal Journey of Leadership, Empowerment, and Curiosity 

Leadership & Mentoring

Embarking on the thrilling odyssey of design leadership, I've woven a tapestry of mentorship, empowerment, and an unyielding passion for innovation. I'm Gil Finkelstein, a Design Director and Head of Design, and my management style is a unique blend of personal connection, continuous learning, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.

I'm a mentor at heart. Witnessing the growth of each team member is not just a responsibility, it's a source of immense pride. My leadership ethos is grounded in fostering an environment where every individual feels seen, heard, and empowered to contribute their unique brilliance.

In the realm of design leadership, I stand as a testament to the power of mentorship, innovation, and a personal touch.

Through empowerment, collaboration, and a relentless pursuit of learning, I don't just lead design teams, I shape the very essence of design culture within an organization.
