Gai Ben Dor

ENGAGEMENT MANAGER

Gai Ben Dor partners with senior leaders and teams navigating complex change, leadership challenges, and moments of transition. His work focuses on strengthening leadership capacity and supporting individuals and groups to lead with clarity, resilience, and responsibility in environments marked by uncertainty and competing demands.

Over nearly two decades, Gai has built deep experience in leadership development, mentoring, and facilitation across sectors and cultures. His practice is grounded both in leading mission-driven initiatives and in designing and facilitating leadership development engagements with organizations and senior teams. He is known for his ability to establish trust quickly, hold challenging conversations with care and rigor, and help teams translate reflection into tangible shifts in how they collaborate, decide, and lead.

In 2008, Gai served as a guide for a blind marathon runner at the Paralympic Games in Beijing. Later that year, they undertook a journey together in the Himalayas toward Mount Everest. Working in conditions of shared risk, interdependence, and limited margin for error continues to shape Gai’s approach to leadership - particularly around responsibility, coordination, and decision-making under pressure.

Gai is the founder of 180°, a social organization dedicated to advancing individuals with disabilities through sport, and is actively involved as a volunteer and mentor in leadership and excellence programs.

Gai is an ICF-certified coach (ACC) and a graduate of Georgetown University’s Institute for Transformational Leadership. He is a qualified lawyer and accountant, with experience in top-tier firms. Gai holds an Executive MBA from the Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern University, as well as a bachelor’s degree in law and accounting from Tel Aviv University.
