Over Lev

I help organizations turn complexity into structure, and structure into performance


With over 20 years of international experience in organizational transformation, HR strategy, and executive advisory, I support companies that are in the process of growth, transformation, or restructuring.

I partner with founders, CEOs, and HR leaders to redesign organizational structures, clarify decision-making, and implement performance management frameworks that translate strategy into tangible results.

I combine psychological insight with operational accuracy. My background in organizational psychology enables me to address human dynamics, while my transformation experience ensures systems are scalable, effective, and reliable.

What I Bring
  • Executive coaching & alignment
  • Leadership development & cultural transformation
  • Organizational structure & operating model redesign
  • Workforce planning & succession management
  • Performance management systems linked to KPIs
  • HR digitization & analytics

Selected Achievements
  • Led managerial and structural transformation that contributed to 500% business growth within six years
  • Restored profitability of a distressed retail company within six months through KPI-driven restructuring
  • Delivered ~50% back-office efficiency improvement in an international trading organization
  • Designed succession and learning frameworks aligned with long-term strategic workforce planning
  • Built internal corporate university program achieving 85% internal leadership fill rate
I operate comfortably at board level while remaining hands-on in execution. Clients value my ability to mediate in complicated situations with stakeholders, reduce executive overload, and create clarity in fast-scaling or politically sensitive contexts.

Whether you are:
  • A leadership team in need of structural clarity;
  • A scale-up professionalizing operations;
  • An SME overcoming growth challenges -
I bring calm, structure, and visible progress.
