Ortal is a passionate educator with a mission to empower parents and teachers to create tomorrow’s innovators.

​

She started her career as a computer scientist and worked for top global hi-tech companies such as IBM and Mercury for several years. Working at the forefront of this cutting-edge industry helped her understand the impact of technology on the future of work.

Additionally, as Ortal watched her three sons' journeys through primary school, she realised they were not being prepared for this future.

​

While Ortal saw the movement towards STEM as going in the right direction, essential skills such as creative thinking and the development of an innovative mindset, to name a few, were being left out. Having a solid technological background and being a Design Thinking practitioner, she was able to see that there was a need and a way to bridge this gap.

​

Therefore, Ortal co-founded “Glittering Minds” and created an innovative school program. This program provides the needed paradigm shift in education by introducing Design Thinking as the new pedagogy.

​

Ortal is also a renowned international speaker and recipient of the prestigious GIFEW Global Evolutionary Woman Award in Education in 2022. Her passion for education and innovative problem-solving has earned her a reputation as a sought-after expert in her field.

She also uses her knowledge and expertise to help business owners unlock their full potential and achieve success. Her wealth of experience and exceptional problem-solving skills have already empowered over 1,000 business owners achieve their goals.

Her innovative approach has inspired many to learn from her and apply her techniques in their own businesses.

 ​

Ortal is also an award-winning author. She wrote a few books that empower parents and teachers to create tomorrow’s innovators.  These books provide teachers and parents with the knowledge and tools required to set up children for success in the 21st century.
