A Note From
our Founder

Shlomi Avdoo, Founder and CEO

Over the past two decades, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside some of the most talented and visionary people in our industry. What sets Avdoo apart is not just the work we do—but the individuals who make it possible.

Confidence, trust, and integrity are at the core of every Avdoo project. These values characterize not only our external relationships with partners, but also our team ethos. We’re building a culture rooted in creativity and collaboration, and we're committed to fostering an environment where people feel empowered to do their best work.

This is a place where ideas are welcomed, ambition is nurtured, and success is shared. My hope is that every person who walks through our doors feels inspired to reach their full potential—and proud to be part of the journey we’re on together.
