About me
I am who I am.
I don't change when I'm with my friends or family, with employees or clients. I am Nir Zavaro, always.
Who you are and what do you do?
I always said that when I had time I would write a book. I achieved that goal in 2012. I love setting goals and achieving them. Over the next few years, I kept learning and growing, improving in storytelling and marketing. I launched several businesses and still co-own two bars. In 2011 I started my creative sales agency named Streetwise and had the pleasure of working with some big brands but also with some inspiring people with amazing ideas from all over the world. I feel now is the time to take everything I have learned and bring my art to the masses with my lectures and workshops. My mission statement is to do good and meet as many people as I possibly can. I know I will never achieve these to the fullest but you probably know by now – I love setting the bar high.
How did I get here?
