My summer with Excel gave me the opportunity for an internship that was superior to any I could find in the US and to be part of a program that enhanced the summer as a whole.
As an intern at General Motors, I was able to start on a trajectory that led me through business school and to the job that I am in today. Working with my internship mentor, Gil Golan, we plotted a course for the skills that I should look to acquire in order to have a successful career in the advancement of transportation.
Through a combination of projects during my internship and 1:1 mentoring sessions, we developed a bullseye strategy to target my ultimate goal and work backwards to the steps that I would take once I left my summer internship. Gil suggested that I get experience in finance, operations, and attend business school in order to create a foundation to serve me well. This plan came full circle when I was approached by fellow Excel alum, Ben Birnbaum, to join as one of the first team members at his electric vehicle charging infrastructure company, TeraWatt Infrastructure, in July.
The career choices that I made as a result of my time with Excel and working with Gil led me to Investment Banking, Via, Stanford Graduate School of Business, BMW i Ventures, DoorDash, and now TeraWatt.
I look back fondly on my summer internship and experience for the time spent in Israel, the relationships formed, and the excellent mentorship I received that put me on the path to lead me to where I am now. I still stay in close contact with Gil, meeting him every time he comes to California, and get the chance to work closely with Ben. The Excel internship and community have made a lasting impact on my life and was the kickstarter of my whole career.
