Hi! I'm Shany Vinokur, born and raised in Tel Aviv, married to Alex, and the oldest of four siblings. I've always been drawn to the dynamic and fast-paced environment of startups. Before business school, I worked at several startups, where I led go-to-market strategies and business development. The thrill of working in a startup, where every day brings new challenges and opportunities, has been incredibly fulfilling and drives my passion for innovation and growth.

I hold a bachelor's in economics and business and a master's in law, and I now continue my academic journey at Fuqua focusing on marketing, entrepreneurship, and innovation. I am a part of the Tech and Marketing Clubs and on the cabinet of the Fuqua2Duke Club, where I help connect mentors and mentees.

Outside of my professional life, I'm a vegetarian, wine enthusiast, world traveler, and dedicated animal lover. You can often find me planning my next travel adventure, trying a new restaurant, or spending time with my husky.
