Jonathan is a private equity veteran with over 20 years of experience in launching international investments, raising capital, achieving exits and actively running public companies. As a former manager of Claridge Israel (1986-1997), the private equity fund grew from $50 to $700 through a series of highly successful exits, including TevaPharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: TEVA), ECI Telecom (NASDAQ: ECIL), Osem (TASE:OSEM) and Optrotech.
