Liat Portal

I work at the intersection of cultures, systems, and stories. I have spent my life moving between Israeli and American worlds and learning how people connect through food, memory, identity, science, technology, architecture, music, and the rhythms that shape daily life. This vantage point allows me to see patterns that cross industries, disciplines, and generations.

​

My academic background in Industrial Engineering and Business Administration shaped my ability to understand systems, workflows, and the hidden logic behind how people and organizations make decisions. I have worked with companies across traditional and high-tech industries and gained deep insight into supply chains, operations, product development, and the complexity of global markets.

​

I live in San Francisco, close to the center of the high-tech world. Working with companies that want to expand into the United States taught me how to bridge cultures, establish trust, and help international teams understand the expectations of the American market. I support founders, executives, and operations leaders who want to grow, solve problems, and connect with the right partners and customers.

​

Over time, my work evolved into something broader. I realized that the same skills that help me understand a business also help me understand culture, history, and the forces that shape human experience. I began to write about the patterns I see around me. This writing became The Liat Show.
