After almost 10 years, I'm leaving Sela, and I'm going on a new path.
It's been a wonderful period that besides of giving me the opportunity to deep dive into enormous amount of materials and technologies, it gave me the opportunity to meet great colleagues and top of the line professionals, some of them were already there, and some of them joined Sela over the years.
Working in Sela was like a second home, you are always treated nicely, and you are always welcome to say what you think out loud, the opportunity to be a professional and share your knowledge, to help others to be better, and also to get help back when you are needed are things that happen on a daily basis, and I think that this is what makes this place so special.
I want to say thanks to people I had the pleasure to work with :
David Bassa & Caro Segal - My managers that supported me all the way, and gave me the tools and the understanding to achieve my goals. Dudu and Caro are a great example for managers that are living and breathing their business and that are also keeping being good friends with their own employees.
Moran Gimpel - Moran was my manager for a few years and she is a perfect example for a manager that before everything else is a human being. She is a one that you can come to talk with, at any time of the day, and at the same time she can also keep an eye on every little detail in Sela College and do everything with superb management skills.
Ishai Ram - When Ishai decides that he wants to do something, no matter what it is, you can count on it that it will be done, and on the best side as well, no matter how hard it is, or if it looks far to catch. There is not enough space on this short blog post to sum all the great things Ishai did in Sela.
Sigal Garusi - If you are a customer, and you are taken care of by Sigal, you can be sure that all your problems will be solved, you'll know everything and fast, and in case of emergency it's better to call Sigal than 911. Sigal is also a great colleague and someone you can always trust with your eyes closed.
Alon Fliess - Alon is one of the great professionals I met, it looks like there is no problem he can't solve, and he always do it with a smile and elegance that makes you feel that even the hardest problems are a piece of cake for him. Also along the years, I travelled a lot with Alon to Conferences and occasionally we also had a few sessions together as lecturers, and I must say that "working in harmony" (as my blog title says) was truly the name of the game.
Sasha Goldstein - It sounds too good to be true, but I can honestly say that everything that this guy touches turns to gold, a great lecturer, a gifted writer, a top of the line professional and a great team player. It was a pleasure working together, and a great privilege.
I would also like to thank Tomer Shamam, Manu Yashar Cohen, Alex Golesh, Shai Raiten, Noam Sheffer, Erez Harari, Ariel Horesh, Gil Fink, Ido Flatow, Assaf Singal, Avi Ballaiche and many more (the list goes on and on…).
It's been a pleasure working with you all, and I do hope that we'll have the opportunities to work together in the future.
About the new path… well.. That's on my next post...
