Co-founder of Vayomar, a global boutique consulting firm established in 2003, Ariel has spent the last two decades studying the business and operational challenges that stem from what he calls “…the growing disconnect between humanity’s evolutionary “Operating System” and the modern working dynamics of the digital revolution”.

Ariel has worked with hundreds of companies in over two dozen countries and across a wide range of industries. He has developed management and communication’s methodologies which combine insights from a range of interdisciplinary fields such as: history; psychology; behavioral economics, neuroscience, business and leadership. These practical methodologies deal with critical weaknesses of large international corporations as well as fast-growing startups that strive to become sustainable global enterprises:

• For large international corporations, the focus is on reducing complexity at the interpersonal level, which has long since turned their size from an advantage into a debilitating liability.
• For fast-growing starts-ups the focus is on helping brilliant and accomplished founders understand that their very success may be what leads to their demise and that if they wish to successfully shift from “start-up” to “enterprise” mode, they need to leave behind the very best practices that got them “here” and embrace a new way of operating that can take them “there”.

Ariel is also the author of the book “You’re Not Moving Slow Enough” (2016) which focuses on the link between our emotional intelligence (EQ) and our ability to influence others, without authority. In his book, Ariel describes three critical errors (“Gratification Traps”) that many of us make when trying to persuade others and five complimentary methods for avoiding them.

Ariel holds a BA in Government, Strategy and Diplomacy Studies (2003) and an MA in Counter-Terrorism and Homeland Security (2008), both from the Interdisciplinary School in Herzeliya, Israel. Ariel is a proud, but not too annoying vegan.
