About Kortaliya
An independent consultancy that designs and tunes R&D operating models for scaling B2B SaaS companies. Every engagement is led directly by the founder — no junior consultants, no handoffs.
Koren Aisenstadt
28 years in software product development across Israeli high-tech and European SaaS. The majority in VP and Director-level roles across Engineering, Product, and R&D Operations — repeatedly redesigning how product organizations collaborate, prioritize, and deliver at scale.
The work has spanned company-wide operating model design, cross-functional governance, and delivery system architecture at organizations of 100 to 300+ R&D headcount.
Kortaliya exists to give scaling companies direct access to that experience — without the overhead of a large consultancy and without the distance of someone who hasn't built it themselves.
