Daphna Nissenbaum

CEO, Tipa

Israeli businesswoman Daphna Nissenbaum is the CEO of Tipa, a company she founded with her colleague Tal Neuman. Tipa offers a viable alternative to flexible packaging for food: its packaging is 100 percent compostable and has the same mechanical properties as ordinary plastic. "I see TIPA as a solution provider to change the history of plastic. We are not going to be a niche market player, we’re going to be a mass market player," Nissenbaum predicted in a March 2018 interview with a British news outlet. Prior to founding TIPA in 2010, Nissenbaum served as the CEO of the Caesarea Center for Capital Markets and Risk Management at the Interdisciplinary Center (IDC), Herzliya. Nissenbaum holds an MBA in Marketing and Entrepreneurship from IDC Herzliya and a BA in Economics and Software Engineering from Bar Ilan University. (Photo: Tipa.)
