About / English
Nice to meet you,
I'm Zohar Levy, a strategic advisor specializing in public policy, regulation, and government relations.
For more than 15 years, I've worked at the intersection of government, the Israeli Parliament (Knesset), the business sector, and civil society, advising organizations, companies, and executives seeking to drive change, overcome obstacles, and move initiatives forward within complex systems.
Throughout my career, I've led and supported initiatives across a wide range of sectors, from energy and infrastructure, tourism, environmental policy, education, and business regulation to social issues, women's and children's rights, and public policy.
This experience has taught me that behind almost every seemingly insurmountable obstacle, there is a way forward. Sometimes it involves changing policy or regulation. Sometimes it means forging an unexpected partnership, connecting with the right person, or simply redefining the problem.

My Approach
I begin by understanding the bigger picture: What are we really trying to achieve? Who are the key players influencing the outcome? What interests are at work? And where are the opportunities to make a difference?
From there, I work closely with my clients to develop strategies that bridge the gap between ambition and reality, guiding them from strategic thinking through implementation.
My work is grounded in a deep understanding of Israel's decision-making systems and a network of relationships built over many years. But I firmly believe that connections alone are never a strategy.
The value I bring lies in my ability to navigate complex systems, recognize opportunities, connect people and interests, and identify the path that can turn ideas into action.
As part of my practice, I personally advise CEOs, senior executives, and organizational leaders who are navigating critical decisions or facing complex organizational, public affairs, or regulatory challenges.
I provide a confidential space for strategic reflection, an opportunity to step back, gain an outside perspective, explore alternatives, clarify objectives, and make informed decisions with a broader understanding of the landscape.
I believe in consulting built on genuine partnership: listening carefully, asking the right questions, speaking candidly even when the message is difficult to hear, and staying engaged until meaningful progress is made.
After years of working in the public policy arena, I've learned that meaningful change rarely happens on its own.
It takes knowing when to act, developing the right strategy, bringing the right people together, and maintaining momentum even when the system insists something cannot be done.
That's where my work begins.
My professional philosophy is rooted in expertise, honesty, integrity, collaboration, and transparency, with an unwavering commitment to finding effective, high-quality solutions to even the most complex challenges.
Change Is Not Just an Idea.
It's a Process That Requires Action.
Strategic Advisory for International Organizations and Businesses
Helping international organizations navigate Israel's government and regulatory landscape, overcome barriers, and advance strategic initiatives.
I advise international companies, investors, nonprofit organizations, and institutions seeking to establish or expand their activities in Israel, advance projects, or build strategic partnerships.
Operating in a new market often means navigating unfamiliar regulations, complex government processes, and multiple stakeholders with competing interests. I help my clients understand the landscape, identify potential obstacles and opportunities, and develop practical strategies to achieve their objectives.
Whether a project requires legislative or regulatory change, engagement with government ministries and members of the Knesset, or collaboration with local business and civil society partners, I provide strategic guidance and hands-on support to move initiatives forward.
Drawing on more than 15 years of experience in Israeli public policy and government relations, I help international clients:
-
Navigate regulatory and legislative challenges that may affect their operations, investments, or projects.
-
Engage effectively with decision-makers across government, the Knesset, and relevant public institutions.
-
Identify and develop strategic partnerships with Israeli businesses, organizations, and other stakeholders.
-
Advance cross-border initiatives that create business opportunities, foster collaboration, or deliver meaningful social impact.
My role is to bridge the gap between international ambitions and Israel's political, regulatory, and institutional realities, helping clients turn complex challenges into actionable strategies and tangible results.
