Asaf Talmor-Wertheimer is CEO and founder of the Atarim Group.[1]

Together with Tal Zvi Nathanel and former IDF intelligence officer Erez Spatz, Talmor-Wertheimer founded Eganu.com, a multi-platform social network designed to encourage a closer connection between Israel and Diaspora Jews.[2]

In the winter of 2008/09, Talmor-Wertheimer spoke alongside Eran Reshef of Israeli start-up Collactive at the IDC Herzliya.

No less than 400 students, most of them from RRIS, attended a special New Media Advocacy conference this winter. The students were taught how to use their computers in their everyday lives to help promote Israel’s positive image online.[3]

During Israel's Operation Cast Lead invasion of the Gaza Strip, Talmor-Wertheimer took time off work to act as one of the group leaders of the Help Us Win social networking effort in support of the offensive.[4]
