A physicist morphed into an organizational change agent, Nathan Zeldes has led a fascinating
career with roles in IT, VLSI fabrication and engineering, R&D, academic relations and forensic
science, always inventing his roles as he moves ahead. He was a member of the startup team for Intel’s
Jerusalem plant, then built and managed the company’s external research and academic relations in
Israel, and later became an IT Principal Engineer after creating the "Computing Productivity manager"
role where he drove a user-centric approach to IT.
A pragmatic visionary, Nathan combines an innovative approach to problems with the ability
to reduce the resultant unconventional solutions to practice. He has a knack for leading organization-wide
transformations at the border where technology meets behavior. He has a long
track record
of identifying needs, threats and opportunities long before the organization realizes they’re coming;
inventing original solutions that enhance individual and organizational effectiveness; and making
them a reality by driving the development, evaluation, management negotiation, training and logistics
that are all necessary for successful change assimilation. His contributions at Intel included establishing
the World Wide Web, Telecommuting, and Distributed Team Collaboration as accepted components of
the company's business practices.
A good example is the area in which he’s achieved worldwide fame as a thought leader:
Information Overload. Nathan had targeted this problem long before it became the global scourge
it is today, and has developed innovative software, training and behavior change solutions that
were adopted at Intel and in other corporations worldwide. One outcome of this work is the Information
Overload Research Group, a non-profit he founded that pulls together academics, industry practitioners
and others who are dedicated to the search for solutions.
After driving change at Intel for 26 years Nathan decided it's time for a change in his
own career. Aiming to apply his experience and vision in exciting new ways, he's taken the plunge
and started his own business. Exciting days - and you're invited to play a part in them. Do
