Summit Voices
Leaders and innovators share key insights and reflections from
MNC Summit 2025
Jeff Horing
Managing Director,
Insight Partners
“The only sustainable way to grow is to focus on the customers you already have. Make sure they’re getting real value, that they stay, and that they expand. Retention is the foundation of the business.”
Yifat Oron
Senior Managing Director, Blackstone
“In most successful Israeli tech companies, the ones that delivered the biggest returns, it’s almost always the original founder who stayed at the helm until exit, whether that’s an acquisition or an IPO.”
Ilan Bressler
VP & GM, Intel Wireless Communication Solutions
“If you need out-of-the-box thinking, to challenge yourself, get out of the comfort zone, and if you need strong, dedicated teams that will deliver on must-not-fail projects no matter what the obstacle, Israel is the place to be. It’s in our DNA. It’s what we do.”
Hadar Sutovsky
VP Corporate Investments,
ICL Group
“Having a clear strategy gives us a sharp, narrow direction for what can reach our investment committee and what doesn’t. It sends a clear message to the ecosystem and to entrepreneurs about what we’re looking for, so there are no disillusions later about why we didn’t engage or invest.”
Michel Prassas
Regional Director,
Corning
“In 2017, our CTO gave me a mission, ‘Find out where in Europe and the Middle East Corning should invest in the startup ecosystem’. The conclusion was, the only place for Corning to be was Israel. Not because of hype, but because of the mindset of the people and the level of innovation happening here.”
Lian Michelson
General Partner,
Marvelous
“We look for the connection between the founder and the problem they’re solving. They understand the problem deeply, can build an outstanding team around them, and bring commercial awareness alongside their scientific and technological understanding.”
Ravit Warsha Dor
Partner & Director,
TELUS Global Ventures
“When we invest, we look for a champion within the business who can support the investment and build a real business case together with the startup.”
Yehudah Schwartz
Managing Director, Corporate Development & Head of Investments, Wix
“The question that every CVC gets asked all the time is whether we invest for strategic or financial reasons. For us, the answer is simply – both.”
