Ilana Vaiman Naftulin, Founder
LightUp - Agile & Project Management
Happy, empowered people are the foundation of every successful organization. When you invest in your people, you’re investing in a future full of innovation and creativity. My work focuses on creating environments where individuals can thrive, teams can collaborate seamlessly, and fresh thinking is encouraged.
Facilitation is my primary tool for driving change. I use a collaborative leadership style to co-create solutions perfectly aligned with your organization’s unique DNA. Together, we build solutions that don’t need to be “implemented” because your team owns them—they created them. My role is to guide the process, contributing insights from my experience and knowledge to enrich the pool of ideas. This approach empowers teams, strengthens ownership, and ensures sustainable results.
What drives me is seeing people grow, succeed, and shine. I’m passionate about fostering rewarding teamwork, cultivating positive work cultures, and creating space for innovation and original ideas. For me, it’s not just about achieving goals—it’s about making the journey meaningful and enjoyable.
I’ve been involved in high-tech and software development since 2000, starting as a software developer before earning my MBA and discovering my true calling in project management and Agile. Agile practices’ exciting, dynamic nature drew me in and has shaped my approach ever since.
Every step of my journey has deepened my understanding of what drives successful software development, business growth, and—most importantly—how to create workplaces where people love to contribute and feel a part.
I’m a lifelong learner with over 30 certifications in Agile methodologies, change management, group facilitation, and more. My passion for growth fuels my ability to guide organizations and teams with up-to-date, effective practices.
I enjoy working closely with leaders who value deep thinking and aren’t afraid to approach challenges creatively. With a strategic mindset and practical tools, I help managers and teams navigate change, streamline processes, and achieve their goals, whether working in the office or remotely.
Through a strong network of professionals and collaborators, I provide tailored, diverse services that align with each organization’s unique needs. Whether large-scale transformation or personalized team coaching, I’m here to help you achieve your vision.
Over the years, I’ve partnered with many clients—from large corporations in Israel to international organizations. Seeing their success stories fuels my passion for what I do.
Let’s work together to build a future where your organization and its people shine!
