Asher Ellazam
Senior Consultant
Asher is a seasoned professional from the software industry with a rare mix of experience. Over 4 decades, he has worked across most industries and has fulfilled a wide variety of technical, business and operational roles, and he has experience working in the Middle East and US. Over the last 20 years, Asher has been running his own niche consulting business, alongside his full-time roles.
In 2017, Asher left the software industry after realising that IT project management had become purely a governance role. He then joined Connectiv Group for a trial period, preparing R&D applications primarily for software customers. He found similarities with previous roles in that he was talking to customers about their operations, issues, objectives and how to bring ideas to fruition. He started dealing with a wider range of customers and found that his operational experience enabled him to quickly establish understanding and trust with the customer, regardless of the industry.
As a natural teacher, Asher enjoys informing, guiding and mentoring customers and colleagues and he takes great satisfaction from their response, appreciation and loyalty. He is considered the ultimate professional, having set benchmarks for communication, documentation and consulting standards throughout his career.
Away from the office, Asher is a dance instructor, dances latin styles and Israeli folkdance and he enjoys spending time with his young adult kids.
