Kfir PravdaFounder, CEOBelieving in the maxim “Find a job you love and you’ll never have to work a day in your life,” I founded the Pravda Media Group. Here I put into action all the strategic understanding, business experience, marketing know-how and technological expertise I have accumulated during years of global activity in the areas of Internet, media and cellular content.
I thoroughly enjoy writing our company’s blog and learning from its readers – investors, marketing managers and content creators around the world.
As a keynote speaker and executive producer of international conferences focusing on technology, innovation and media, I keep my finger on the industry’s pulse. I love being exposed to the hottest topics and trends while they are sizzling.
In 2008, TheMarker Magazine featured me as a digital marketing leader on its 40/40 list of the most promising personalities under 40 to follow. The same year, I served as content director for digital media at the Rosh Pina Festival.
One of my most riveting experiences is teaching at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC) Herzliya and meeting students.My three business principles are:
Businesses don’t do business, people do business
Excellence is not a slogan, it’s a way of life
Start as fast as you can, and then slowly increase your paceLast but not least…
I’m an avid fan of crime films and a whiskey collector -

Meirav WaxmanI firmly believe in walking the walk, not just talking the talk. In the four years since I moved from the production field into that of Internet marketing I have come to understand the sheer power that can be harnessed and unleashed with the click of a mouse, how such a seemingly small action can launch revolutions, change deeply ingrained thoughts and opinions, and even lead to falling in love. Over that time I have also developed a clear realization of the potential of digital marketing and social networking, and I joined Pravda Media so I could bring my skills and talents to work for a company that has what is needed to help lead its clientele to success using these remarkable new tools.
My three business principles are:
Solving your own problems allows you to fall in love with the product of your labor.
It is what you DO that matters.
The first step to glory is daring to begin.Last but not least…

Benny AklerI LOVE a good challenge, be it professional or personal (for instance, the kind that involves off-road vehicle and lots of mud), and I strongly believe that people are the fuel that moves any system or organization.
My three business principles are:
Every decision and every action has influence and consequence.
In order to succeed, follow your heart and do what you love.
Your goals determine your intended destination, and the stop points you set along the way that determine how you reach it.Last but not least…
Your family is your first, last, and best line of support.
I serve in the IDF Reserve Forces, and love it!
