Founder — BizDev Labs. Progressive outbound BDR agency (45+ SaaS clients 🚀)

In 2020, I quit my job with $3K in the bank and no plan. 

Two years later, I built a multi-million-dollar BDR agency and earned a spot on Forbes 30U30.

Today I am redefining the role of a BDR. I believe the BDR role is a lifelong career. And my goal is to build the most tenured BDR team on the market.

Outside of work, I was an Olympic-class windsurfer. 

I lived in Israel, Canada, USA, England, Mexico, Hong Kong, Portugal and Aruba.

Helping aspiring Project Managers to break into the field ⚡️ Build your Professional Brand with me | Elevate your career with proven methods | Project Manager

👋 7 years ago I had no clue I would be a Project Manager. It happened accidentally and the hardest for me was to understand what is this role about, what should I do and how to land the role of a project manager. I spent years figuring out this, so you don't have to. 

Pivoted 5x times, working in various industries, I found my passion in project management and that I can help others to break into this field and build a fulfilling and successful career. I share on LinkedIn 5x times a week posts about getting things done, productivity, leadership, what PMing mean and how to land a job in project management without starting from scratch.

AI will never replace Project Managers.

Why?

Because 90% of what we do isn’t about tools - it’s about people.

It’s communication.
It’s leadership.
It’s support, motivation, coaching, and facilitation.

AI tools are incredible - ChatGPT, Perplexity, Notion AI - they make our lives easier, help us research, brainstorm, and visualize.

But behind every successful project, there’s a person - the one who drives it forward, who sees beyond the metrics, who asks why the team feels stuck or unmotivated, and who knows that every delay has a human story behind it.

AI can automate tasks.
But it can’t build trust. ❤️ 

It can’t sense tension in a meeting, motivate someone having a bad day, or create a space where ideas flow freely.

That’s the magic of a great Project Manager.

👇 Your turn: Do you think AI will ever be able to replace the human side of project management? Why or why not?

Most people think Project Managers and Product Managers are interchangeable.

They’re not.

Here’s the simplest way to understand it:

👉 Project Manager = Delivery
👉 Product Manager = Direction

A Project Manager asks:
Are we on time?
Are we within scope?
Are we within budget?
Are teams aligned and unblocked?

They protect execution.

A Product Manager asks:

Are we building the right thing?
Does this solve a real user problem?
What should we prioritize next?
How does this drive growth?

They protect value.

Both roles are critical.
But they optimize for different outcomes.

Project Managers focus on how and when.
Product Managers focus on what and why.

When companies blur the lines:
 ❌ Strategy suffers
 ❌ Delivery slows down
 ❌ Accountability becomes messy

When companies define them clearly:
 ✅ Products ship faster
 ✅ Teams align better
 ✅ Decisions become sharper

If you’re early in your career, ask yourself:
Do I enjoy orchestrating execution and bringing order to chaos? → Project Management.

Or do I love defining vision, shaping problems, and deciding what gets built? → Product Management.

Neither is “better.”

They just solve different problems.
Which one are you - and why? 👇
