Bringing a refreshing energy to the industry, Ido is deeply passionate about creating spaces that have a positive impact. A true people person, Ido has established a wide network over his 14 years in the industry and thrives through connection and partnership. Outside (and sometimes in) the office you'll find him playing with his three kids, out on the water or practicing Brazilian Jiu Jitsu—or involuntary yoga, as Ido likes to call it.
