  • Isaac Ashkenazi, Co-founder

    With a background in songwriting, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, Isaac believes that “all industries, organizations and companies are made up of individuals with passions, dreams, fears and personal ambitions. Whether you run a hedge fund or a nonprofit, those factors should always be considered when making decisions."

    When creating Aleph, our aim was to create an organization that focused on facilitating empowering relationships. I believe ultimately this organization will give any and all willing individuals the ability to use their own unique power and stories for the greater good of themselves and those around them.
