Roei Zerahia

Roei brings his experience in computer science & mathematics (as a lecturer and senior faculty member), together with a vast understanding of the business world (as an entrepreneur in the fields of technology and agriculture).

Roei was involved in establishing a couple of companies, when one of his latest success was in CANNDOC which he merged, as the company’s CEO, with Intercure (INCR.TA) the first Israeli public company in the pharmaceutical cannabis industry, that reached a valuation of more than 1 billion NIS during his tenure.

Roei combines his work at the academy together with his work in the industry and by that he brings both worlds to his students on campus. Roei teaches at Shenkar’s Industrial Engineering and Management School and serves as Shenkar’s Institutional Academic Supervisor for courses of practical experience.

Roei lectures globally and was invited to speak in 2019 in the World Economic Forum in Davos, gave a TEDx talk, and has been speaking in various conferences around the globe.

In a survey done by the Israeli Student Union, Roei was chosen to be one of Israeli most Inspiring Lecturers out of more than 10,000 nominees.
