Shmulik Davar

Shmulik Davar

Shmulik Davar is the founder and CEO of BrAIght Wave, Anthropic's official partner in Israel, where he helps enterprises move AI from slideware to production. His guiding thesis — that AI is an execution problem, not a technology problem — comes out of 30+ enterprise implementations across companies including Palo Alto Networks, Varonis, AppsFlyer, WalkMe, BioCatch, MyHeritage, and Hertz, delivered through a Map → Prioritize → Build → Scale methodology.
He brings more than 15 years in product leadership to that work, including VP Product roles at Fido, SparkBeyond, Bringg, and Medint, and co-founding the 10xPM product community. Today he also builds the technical layer himself: production agents, MCP servers, eval-backed Claude skills, and open-source LLM tooling — including llm-cost-meter and trAIce, his AI cost-and-margin analytics platform.
Shmulik is an AI Lecturer at Reichman University and a speaker at international conferences including AI4 and GITEX. His focus throughout is the unglamorous engineering that makes AI reliable — and affordable — enough to trust with real systems and real money.
