“While in the Marshall School of Business at the University of Southern California, I had the privilege of working with Ofek on a case team for the Target Case Competition. The Target Case Competition challenges University students with building business strategies to solve real business issues at Target. In 2012, the case was focused around Target's expansion into Canada. Teams of 4-5 students have 15 minutes to pitch their strategies to a panel of Target employees. Students are judged based on: the quality of their recommendations, the extent of their research, the feasibility of their strategies' execution, their presentation skills and their visual aids, and most importantly, the creativity of their case. Strongly influenced by Ofek's work ethic and creativity, our team won the 2012 competition. Ofek brought a willingness to learn an entire new discipline and merged it with his natural understanding of business strategy. An important aspect of the competition was the short amount of time the team has to hear the problem, create a strategy and present the recommendations. In this restricted working environment, Ofek's efficiency and creativity proved essential in our team's success. Ofek has an amazing ability to work with orders, and I would welcome any other opportunity to do so in the future.”

Tech Trends 2017: The Kinetic Enterprise
Deloitte University Press
Technology has moved far beyond desktop devices and software upgrades: to data analysis, augmented reality, and reimagining products as services. In fact, the range of recent advances—from nanotech to robotic process automation—can seem overwhelming. But CIOs can look ahead to help shape their company’s future.
