“By definition, a leader has to have a vision that inspires others to join him or her
on their journey.

Leaders empower others to both join the journey and take an active part in it.”

Wendy Singer is the Executive Director of Start-Up Nation Central, one of Israel's most renowned addresses for connecting businesses, governments and NGOs around the globe with Israeli innovation. Having been a crucial part of the non-profit's management team since its founding in 2013, Wendy played a leading role in building the organisation's infrastructure and team in Israel, as well as launching its initial activities worldwide. Today, Wendy heads SNC’s Jerusalem operations and manages its engagements with foreign government leaders.

Before joining SNC, Wendy spent 23 years at AIPAC, including serving as Head of AIPAC's Israel Office for 16 years. And prior to immigrating to Israel, Wendy filled further political roles in Washington, D.C., including serving as a registered lobbyist on Capitol Hill and as aide for Members of Congress.

Adding up the numbers, that should make a total of 30+ years promoting Israel, Israeli innovation and Israeli entrepreneurs to global leaders – from Fortune 1000 companies to front row policy makers.
