About
Hillel Fuld is an American-born Israeli technology entrepreneur, business advisor, marketer, blogger, vlogger, public speaker, and pro-Israel advocate known for promoting Israel’s high-tech sector. Born in New York City to an Orthodox Jewish family—his father, Rabbi Yonah Fuld, served as principal of Salanter Akiba Riverdale Academy—he moved with his family to Jerusalem at a young age and was raised there. He holds a Bachelor of Arts in political science from Bar-Ilan University.
Fuld’s career centers on the Israeli startup ecosystem: he advises emerging companies, shares marketing and personal-branding strategies, and has provided guidance to major technology firms including Google, Microsoft, and Oracle. He is the CEO of his personal brand, HillelFuld.com, produces online and television content, and contributes columns and commentary that highlight Israeli innovation while countering anti-Israel narratives. He has publicly called Rabbi Efrem Goldberg his friend, rabbi, and mentor.
An active pro-settler advocate, Fuld has collaborated with organizations such as the Central Fund of Israel on fundraising events for West Bank communities, amplifying their reach through social media and speaking engagements. A sought-after global speaker, he has addressed audiences in more than 50 cities at events including Israel Adtech and Content Israel; his dynamic speaking style intersects his passions for Israel, Judaism, and technology. He has faced travel or speaking restrictions in some places, including a reported ban from Australia (details unclear).
Fuld maintains an active online presence, including the Twitter account @HilzFuld, where he engages on technology trends and pro-Israel activism. A married father of five, he draws inspiration from his Orthodox Jewish faith, which informs his responses to challenges—including the 2018 murder of his brother, Ari Fuld—and underpins his public emphasis on faith, resilience, and combating darkness with light.
