Because of Topaz’s decentralized nature, each initiative like B’Tzedek develops its own leadership infrastructure, one that is both parallel to and integrated into the Topaz Board (which has final responsibility for all initiatives). Having developed its work in the field, B’Tzedek is now starting to develop this lay leadership; people who will help guide, support and network the initiative into its next phases of development. Three Israelis who have joined and will help ‘grow’ the Friends of B’Tzedek are:

Ofir Hatzor is an Israeli business executive with background in both high-tech and computer production. Focused primarily on Sales and Marketing of larger concerns, Ofir has also been involved in a Start-Up based on emerging augmented reality technologies.
