Effie has been an active member of the Entrepreneurs’ Organization (EO) since 2016, serving on the EO Seattle Board of Directors as both Forum Chair and Learning Chair. She recently joined the EO US West Bridge Board where she serves as Forum Chair. Effie is actively participating in her second Forum and previously served as Forum moderator.

Effie’s wide background of military service in the Israel Defense Forces, a career as an independent lawyer, and working in the financial services industry led her to be the co-founder of a successful tax and accounting firm based in Seattle. A 12-year journey of entrepreneurship led Effie to build a corporate infrastructure from the ground up, as well as continuously refining organizational systems, processes, and workflow to scale up and support rapid growth while maximizing ROI.

Effie was recognized throughout her career for superior leadership and communications skills, including the ability to rapidly build trust with internal/external audiences and create cultures that inspire high levels of morale, engagement, and retention.

After she successfully exited the business she co-founded, Effie now splits her time traveling the world, helping fellow entrepreneurs, volunteering in her community, and raising a family of four children with her husband of 20 years in the gorgeous Pacific Northwest.
