Why & Who We Are

Ḥayyati means ‘My Life’ in Arabic and ‘My Tailor’ in Hebrew. Founded in 2017 by Mr. Jay Rosen, Ḥayyati’s consulting services offer leadership and management expertise in global communications, cultural diplomacy, and empowering emerging talent. We understand that we all are our own best cheerleaders, and also our own worst editors.

Ḥayyati’s comprehensive tailor-made solutions bridge cross-cultural differences and empower entrepreneurs from all sectors to be their own best salesperson and storyteller. We work with individual businesses and entrepreneurs, accelerators and venture capital firms, philanthropic foundations, academic institutions, non-profits, and more.

Now more than ever, we need to promote cross-cultural communications and an upgrade in style. Contact us for a free initial consultation, up to 30 minutes and in person or via phone/video conference.
