Senior🎓
Top SchoolOren Sivan is a technology leader with nine years of engineering experience and a long track record in financial services, now serving as Managing Director and Head of Engineering for Asia at Galaxy. He combines hands-on full-stack development (Node.js, React, Python, databases, Kubernetes, AWS) with strategic product and team leadership across startups and institutional firms, including Goldman Sachs and Susten Capital. Comfortable in high-pressure situations, he has driven risk, P&L and automation projects, built real-time and video-processing systems, and led cross-border initiatives spanning Hong Kong, Tokyo, Beijing, New York and Tel Aviv. Unusually for an engineering executive, he pairs technical depth with formal training in counseling and mental-health volunteer experience, bringing strong interpersonal skills to crisis management and team development. A polyglot and avid open-water swimmer and dancer, he leverages cultural fluency to build global teams and partnerships.
