About
The Meta Strategist
Dr. Oren Fuerst is not a typical advisor. He is a meta strategist — an architect of breakthroughs who has built, invented, funded, exited, and reimagined entire industries across four continents. With a PhD and MA from Columbia Business School in Applied Game Theory & Global Public Listings, he has shaped the next generation of technology strategists from the world's foremost institutions.
As founder and CEO of DarioHealth (NASDAQ: DRIO) — taken public within two years of founding — he demonstrated the full arc from idea to Wall Street. His work spans advisory to Fortune 100 companies, multibillion-dollar capital markets transactions, and impact programs backed by the U.S. Government and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
