Boaz is the Founder and CEO of TalkMarkets. Boaz started his career as a manager at Bloomberg’s corporate headquarters in Manhattan. He was then lured into the dot com world where he launched two e-commerce websites for a successful electronics retailer and headed its online operations for nearly six years. Boaz then traveled overseas where he served as Seeking Alpha’s Director of Contributor Relations. After returning to the US, Boaz became the Chief Strategy Officer for GLX, a global online investment community which connects investors directly with other investors and the companies they invest in. At Seeking Alpha he oversaw its relationship with numerous strategic partners and the company’s thousands of authors - nearly tripling the number of contributors. In less than two years, he implemented dozens of new initiatives increasing the overall satisfaction rate of authors from 23% to 97%. He was also instrumental in securing an additional $7 million in Seeking Alpha’s latest round of funding. Boaz is involved with several charitable and community organizations and sits on the Board of Directors for Binghamton University's Hillel. He has also served as an auxiliary police officer for the NYPD at Manhattan's 24th precinct. Boaz holds both a BS and BA from New York's Binghamton University and MBA degrees from both Tel Aviv University's Recanati School of Business and Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management.
