What happens in the
space between people?
I've spent most of my career asking one question: what happens in the space between people?
Not what they think, or what they decide, or what they produce. What happens between them — in the invisible web of relationships and connections that determines whether a team creates something great or spins in place.
That question has followed me from a research lab in Chicago to boardrooms in Tel Aviv, from workshops with team leaders to conversations with some of the sharpest organizational thinkers I know. It led me to found StarLinks, to develop a framework that's now changing how organizations think about AI — and it all started somewhere most people wouldn't expect.
It started at 14.
Two years of social exclusion at school. Not as a concept — as a daily reality. I watched how cliques form, how informal leaders emerge, and what it actually costs to be an isolate. And instead of waiting to be included, I did something that in hindsight said everything about who I am: I built my own network. Outside the system. Across completely different worlds — volunteering with girls from dysfunctional homes, guiding young children, working at the neighborhood TV station.
I had a richer social life outside school than most people had inside it.
Since then, I've always been a bridge. Between worlds, between people, between ideas that don't usually meet.
That same instinct took me to Chicago, where I researched leadership. And something kept nagging at me about the field.
We'd come a long way — from "great leaders are born" to competency frameworks and development programs. But leadership was still being described as something that lived inside a person. That never matched my experience. With some people I led naturally. With others I followed. It shifted. Leadership wasn't a steady state — it was something that happened between people.
That question — what if leadership is relational, not personal? — led me straight into network theory. And once I started seeing organizations as living networks of relationships, I couldn't unsee it.
Neither could the people I brought it to. Something kept happening in those rooms. People would go quiet for a moment and then say: I never thought about it that way. Not because the idea was complicated. Because the lens was new. And once you see organizations as networks, you start noticing things you walked past a hundred times without seeing.
That's the thing about a good framework. It doesn't just explain — it reveals.
Then AI arrived. And I asked the old question in a completely new way.
What happens to the network when a new type of intelligence joins it?
Not: which tool should we use? But: how does this change the relationships, the interactions, the whole ecosystem of how people work together?
That gap became my framework: the Partnership of Intelligences.
Two intelligences. Three types of interactions: human↔AI, human↔human, AI↔AI. Each unlocks different value. Each needs different conditions to work. And the connections between all three — that's where the real design challenge lives. The one almost nobody is talking about yet.
The future of leadership isn't managing people or AI agents.
It's being an alchemist of intelligences — designing the conditions where human and artificial intelligence create something together that neither could create alone, in a world whose future is still being written.
If that resonates — you're in the right place.
