Viber is a cross-platform instant messaging and voice over IP application operated by Japanese multinational company Rakuten, provided as freeware for the Microsoft Windows, macOS, Linux.

12+ years of experience as a product management executive, ran my own web design and development firm, gained product management experience working on iMesh, then spent more than 10 years working on Viber (Acquired by Rakuten in 2014), lead the product management and design teams, and in the last years served as the COO (and interim CEO), responsible for the operational running of the fast-moving business. From October 2018, switched to an advisory role at Viber and started working on a new project. ROX Financial has formed to expand access to differentiated commercial real estate investment opportunities. We participated in the Citi Accelerator and later, Citi also participated in our funding round. We have developed a platform to manage Real Estate acquisition and valuation projects, an Investor portal for private and public phases, with a fully SEC complaint Investor relation solution. I am passionate about several additional subjects and when time allows, I work with startups as an advisor and share from my personal experience and learn about additional fields.
