The person behind the work
Background
Nethanyahu exists at the intersection of commerce and creativity — a space most people pass through, but few choose to inhabit. His career has never followed a straight line because he was never interested in one.
He entered the energy markets at a time when few outside the sector understood their true volatility. He found the rhythm of crude futures — its tension, its patience, its ruthless clarity — not unlike the rhythm of editing a film. Both require you to read what's not there.
From animation studios in the early hours to market desks by morning, Nethanyahu built his life around a single conviction: that the most compelling things in the world sit at the edge of two disciplines, not safely inside one.
Journey
First steps into energy markets
Began analysing crude futures and upstream equity, developing a framework for reading commodity volatility as narrative rather than noise.
Found the edit suite
Took on his first video editing commissions, realising that building a film sequence and building a trade thesis shared the same grammar.
Animation & motion design
Expanded into 2D and 3D animation — After Effects, Blender — drawn to the power of movement to communicate before a word is spoken.
Peace advocacy work begins
Began channelling his platform and resources toward conflict resolution initiatives, believing that diplomacy is the ultimate long-term investment.
Documentary series — Bridges
Produced and directed Bridges, a multi-part documentary series exploring grassroots peace initiatives across three continents.
Bringing all of it together
Operating across energy investment, film, animation, and advocacy — building work that is simultaneously commercially rigorous and deeply human.
What drives him
01
Simple narratives are comfortable. Nethanyahu is drawn to the complicated, the layered — in markets, in stories, in people. That's where the real signal lives.
02
Every investment thesis, every edited frame, every animated sequence is ultimately in service of one question: does this make the world more legible and humane?
03
Not a luxury, not an aspiration — a prerequisite. Nethanyahu treats peace-building with the same rigour he brings to portfolio construction.
