Ofer Valencio Akerman
Master coach, positional strategist, and author of Crossing the Invisible Bridge. For over 20 years, he has helped hundreds of leaders and entrepreneurs find their winning position — in business, in life, and in the age of AI.
The Positional Thinker
What separates a chess grandmaster from every other player isn't raw intelligence — it's the ability to read the position on the board better than anyone else in the room. To see not just where pieces are, but where they should be.
Valencio applies exactly this lens to business and life. After his Master's in Military Strategies and decades running companies across four continents, he developed a conviction: most people don't fail because they lack talent or work ethic. They fail because they can't identify their best next move from the position they're actually in.
The financial markets are complex and dynamic. AI is rewriting the rules of every industry. And yet — the one thing that never changes is the value of understanding your position clearly and executing from it with total commitment.
“Once you feel your heart singing, it is probably the right decision for you. From that point onward, you do whatever it takes — and everything you do, you do it great.”
This is not motivational theory. It is a method. Forged from chess, military doctrine, entrepreneurial failure and success, tango floors in Buenos Aires, and the cutting edge of artificial intelligence. It works because it starts with truth — your truth, your position — and builds from there.
