Alchemy of Intelligences
The Space In Between
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 relational leadership and from there to network theory. 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, 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 Alchemy of Intelligences.
Two intelligences. Three types of interaction. Each unlocks a 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.
