Shay's Story
Shay was attracted to Apax’s Tel Aviv office in 2008 after spending most of his adult life in Canada and the USA. Back then, and still to this day, Apax is the most active global private equity advisory firm in Israel and the only one with a local team on the ground. At Apax, Shay enjoys the challenge of working with investment and management teams across sectors and geographies to solve complex problems with humour, humility, creativity and detailed analysis.
