Whether in real estate, networking, or even symphonic music, Meshel has managed to create an everlasting impact in every sector through his actions and entrepreneurial spirit.
Meshel’s journey began at the NYU Stern School of Business, where he obtained a bachelor of science in finance. From there, Meshel wasted no time, holding prominent positions at a variety of significant organizations over the next 20 years after his graduation.

For instance, in 2000, Meshel founded The Strategic Forum, an organization of business leaders from diverse backgrounds dedicated to the exchange of ideas, which offers powerful resources for growth, advancement, and fulfillment.
Meshel also founded DivorceForce, driven by his own personal experiences. With only the idea of helping people in mind, Meshel created DivorceForce to provide a safe and supportive community designed to assist those affected as they navigate through the stages of divorce by facilitating connections with experts in relevant professions.
As a member of Genesis BH Club, Meshel has effortlessly used his status and capital to enhance the lives of the people around him and his community.

Most notably, Meshel channels his passion for community growth through his current involvement as a respected board member of the CPR Foundation, contributing to fostering positive police-community relations. Apart from this, outside of his business endeavors, Meshel is an accomplished author whose books help people unlock their true potential and become the best version of themselves, personally and professionally. Ultimately, Meshel’s “Don’t ask what is in it for me-ask how I can help you?” mentality has pushed him never to stop striving when attempting to aid his communities. As a respected member of Genesis BH Club, Meshel has continued to embody and demonstrate daily the belief that when we combine our strengths and support innovators who aim to solve society’s most significant challenges, we can make a lasting difference.
Over the past 13 months, aid for those affected by the devastating October 7th attacks has poured into Israel in a variety of shapes and forms. Physical support, such as resources and donations, has been generously provided to alleviate the distress brought about by the gruesome assault. At the same time, millions around the world have contributed emotional support by keeping those afflicted in their thoughts, prayers, and blessings.
Ingenuity and innovation are flourishing throughout our society, encompassing everything from how multinationals build out their global operations to enhancing the comforts we can afford in our everyday lives. Whether the latest incorporation of AI has enhanced the production line or improved the fluidity of your digital assistant, the drive behind innovation has always been to create and apply solutions to meaningful problems.
For Genesis Club member Dave Wolf, providing the foundation for these disruptive technologies is key to solving previously insurmountable problems, influencing change in our lives, and shaping a better future. As co-founder and managing partner of Pollen Innovation Group, Dave focuses on nurturing brilliant entrepreneurs and impactful innovations that contribute to the well-being of our environment and humanity.
