Hi there, I'm an AI representing Limor Bergman Gross. I'm here to answer any question you might have about Limor Bergman Gross's experience, skills, or anything else you might want to know about Plato or me.
Book me for Mentorship
Hi, I am Limor. I have worked in the tech industry for over 20 years as a software engineer, engineering manager, and Director of engineering. I know firsthand what being a woman in a male-dominated field is like. After spending nine years living in the US, I returned to my home country and decided to focus on my passion for supporting women's career growth in tech. I have mentored women for over four years and created a mentorship program for women with PowerToFly. I focus mainly on coaching women in tech leadership and helping them overcome challenges they face at the workplace and build a strong leadership career path. I also consult with companies and run workshops with companies on various topics, such as: - Internal mentorship program training - Presentation Skills - How to build an engaging presentation utilizing Story Telling? - Leadership workshops I also have a podcast called 'From a Woman to a Leader,' dedicated to discussing women's unique challenges in tech leadership and providing actionable tips to help overcome those challenges and grow your career in the tech industry.

Making the Transition from Engineering Manager to Director
This Circle is designed for engineering managers looking to move up to a director-level role. I will provide insights on what it takes to successfully make this transition, including how to develop a strategic mindset, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and manage the day-to-day responsibilities of a director. As a former director of engineering with over 20 years of experience, I know firsthand the challenges engineering leaders face. In addition, as a woman in tech, I have a unique perspective on the issues that women in leadership positions may face and can offer guidance and support. I'm excited to share my experience and strategies to help participants develop the skills and strategies they need to build successful teams.

Or Mendels - Director UX/UI @ ZoomInfo
I had the joy of having Limor as a mentor during the first year of my software engineering career. I can’t imagine a better person to have had in my corner. Her depth of knowledge and experience was inspiring, and her willingness to share her wisdom and work with me through my challenges and fears was so appreciated. Our sessions played a huge role in my professional and personal growth. She was always warm, kind, and gave me gentle pushes when I needed it. I feel very fortunate to have had her guidance during such an important phase of my career.
Leslie Crunkilton - Software Engineer @ uShip
My mentorship with Limor over the past four months has been an incredible and empowering process.From the beginning of the mentorship process, I experienced Limor’s professionalism, accompanied by caring and giving her heart and soul.Limor knows how to help me refine and precise my career goals with an excellent and empowering method, leading me hand in hand to a place I have not dreamt I would reach so soon, if at all.Limor is focused, thorough, and super professional, and most important of all, she is an incredible person with a rare personality.As a mentee, I always felt secure and kept every step of the way in every direction I took.Limor was always available for any question, and she was always there for me in and between the sessions.I have never met someone who gives as much of herself and her professional knowledge as she does. I also want to mention Limor mentors me entirely voluntarily as part of the “Movilot” program for Haredi women that want to reach far in their careers and life.According to the program, we were supposed to meet every two weeks. Instead, Limor scheduled weekly sessions.Limor took the mission so seriously and gave above and beyond my expectations from her.It was important to her that I would reach the goal I set for myself at the beginning of the program.It is beyond volunteering, and it is giving herself completely. Whoever works with her wins the lottery from all aspects.
Anat Zevin - Software Development Manager @ Ness Technologies
Limor's coaching skills are unparalleled. You can draw a direct line between my most significant career achievements at the time and Limor's advice and wisdom. As engineering leaders, our role is to distill certainty from doubt, bring clarity and purpose, chart a path for our teams and organizations that leads to success. Unlike most coaches, Limor doesn't let you flounder about trying to figure things out. She happily shares her experience and knowledge, helping engineering leaders make sense of the inherent uncertainty of these positions. You always want Limor in your corner, and as long as she's there, you will excel. It's that simple.

I cannot articulate how valuable my mentorship relationship with Limor Bergman has been to my career. Limor is a mentorship unicorn for any female leader in tech. She’s technical, she’s led large teams for important organizations in our industry and she is always practicing what she teaches. Her years of experience makes her a well of sage advice and insight on my own challenges and she is always encouraging me and challenging me to go further and continue growing. This woman is the real deal.
