Udi Meirav is set out to improve the world of personal health. With a Ph.D. in physics, Meirav once imagined a life dedicated to research, but it didn't take long for him to realize his temperament was better suited to something else entirely. "The pace of research just didn't match my inner clock," he says. "I don't think I have the patience to be a scientist."
That self-awareness propelled him toward entrepreneurship, and over the past two decades, Meirav has built a career by translating deep scientific understanding into real-world innovations. His ventures have included manufacturing and commercializing some of the most powerful LED technologies in the early 2000s and later joining a company that engineered a way to reduce air conditioning energy usage by cleaning indoor air of CO₂ and volatile organic compounds.
