Biography

Gidi Grinstein was born in 1970 in Israel and grew up in Israel, Ivory Coast and the Cameroon. He graduated Ayalon High School and Tel-Aviv University Schools of Economics (1991) and Law (1999). He is a captain (Res.) in the Israeli Navy (1991-1995).

Following his military service, Gidi worked with the Economic Cooperation Foundation, where he coordinated and led projects on economic cooperation among Israel, the Palestinians and Jordan (1995-1997) and then a policy-planning effort on Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations. During that period (1995-1999) he also founded and led the Israeli team that designed the Birthright Israel program, based on its vision conceived by Dr. Yossi Beilin.

Between 1999-2001 Gidi served as the Secretary and Coordinator of the Israeli Delegation for the Negotiations with the PLO in the Office and then in the Bureau of the Prime Minister of Israel, Ehud Barak. In this capacity, he played a key role throughout the negotiations and was the youngest participant at the Camp David Summit in July 2000.

Following his service in the Government of Israel, Gidi became a Wexner Israel Fellow and graduated the Harvard Kennedy School of Government with a MPA (Class of 2002). He dedicated his time to designing a long-term vision for Isarel's economic development and a thought-leadership platform, which would later become the Reut Institute and then the Reut Group.

Upon his return to Israel in the summer of 2002, Gidi went on to establish the Reut Institute (2004), which he has led ever since. Key milestones include the launch and leadership of the ISRAEL 15 Vision; multiple efforts on Israel's relations with World Jewry; the effort against antisemitism and the de-legitimization of Israel; and the work on civil resilience in times of crisis.

In 2012, Reut published a strategic framework called 21st Century Tikkun Olam, calling upon the State of Israel and the Jewish People to improve the lives of 250,000,000 within a decade. Toward implementing this vision, Gidi expanded the work of the Reut Group to include innovation in design and technology to address neglected needs in society. Within this framework, he led the launch of XLN (2011-2018), of Impact Labs in partnership with WeWork (in 2017) and TOM: Tikkun Olam Makers (in 2014).

In 2013 Gidi published his first book, [https://www.amazon.com/Flexigidity-Secret-Adaptability-Challenge-Opportunity-ebook/dp/B00H4TJ8QW Flexigidity: The Secret of Jewish Adaptability and the Challenge and Opportunity Facing Israel].
