Micha Lamed - VP of Finance

Growing up in the ‘90s in an Israeli kibbutz, in the closet and quite literally "the only gay in the village", I experienced the challenges of being unique firsthand. Coming out following my military service as a commander, and taking on a course on queer theories in university, I formed a solid political agenda and have since been actively involved with the LGBT movement's battle for equal rights. My strong feelings towards the LGBT cause have led me to volunteer with a gay youth organization in Israel. Before coming to Anderson I was working in entertainment and in the business division of a major university, but decided to move to California to focus on entertainment. To exemplify why Anderson is the perfect choice for an LGBT person, take a look at my Anderson Take a Stand presentation, titled Being Gay is an Advantage.
