Operator dossier
Full operator profile
The full profile - for allocators who underwrite judgment, not biographies.
The platform Richard Ohebshalom built across twenty-five years in New York is not defined by its size. It is defined by how it was built.
Every asset entered through complexity. Every return created through execution. Every position established before the market had priced what the asset was capable of becoming. His relationship with Israel is not transactional - it is foundational.
The values that define Foundation - long-term thinking, the conviction that the most significant value is created before the market has organized around it, the discipline to build with permanence rather than trade for profit - were shaped by years of operating in and alongside Israel through every condition that this market produces, including active conflict.
He brings to Foundation Israel not simply a principal-level real estate track record, but the specific network assembled over years of operating at the highest level across both markets simultaneously - a network that provides end-to-end execution capability across every stage of every Israeli real estate transaction that no other platform in this market has access to.
