Adi Bittan

Adi Bittan started OwnerListens with longtime friend Oren Dobronsky after helping him at his restaurant and recognizing the dire need for a better customer communications tool to suit the modern, smartphone enabled consumer.

In addition to running OwnerListens, Adi mentors entrepreneurs at StartX, a Stanford affiliated startup accelerator; and at UpWest Labs, an accelerator for Israel-affiliated entrepreneurs. She is also on the leadership team of the SFO-TLV Direct Flight Initiative.

Adi holds an MBA from the Stanford Graduate School of Business and an LL.B & LL.M (cum laude) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Prior to her time at Stanford, Adi was a Captain in the Israel Defense Forces and an attorney for the Israeli government's top planning commission, appearing in Parliament and handling Supreme Court cases. After graduating from Stanford, Adi founded a financial services startup and worked at Peter Thiel's Clarium Capital.
