Engineering in
service of the business.
I'm Oshri Cohen, a technology executive who starts with the product and the P&L, then builds the engineering to match. Twenty-five years turning software organizations into business advantages.
I think from a product and business point of view first, and everything derives down to technology and engineering in service of business development.
Two and a half decades,
measured in outcomes.
A product-minded
technologist.
For 25 years I've sat at the seam between the boardroom and the codebase, translating business strategy into engineering execution, and engineering reality back into business decisions.
I've delivered 10+ digital products across HealthTech, E-commerce, Manufacturing, Logistics and Finance, hands-on across architecture, CI/CD, UX, and AI, with a sharp current focus on redesigning for the AI-native era. Since 2018 I've served as a Fractional & Interim CTO to 30+ companies, at one point simultaneously directing 12 engineering teams across 7 countries.
Before that, executive seats as VP of Engineering at an intelligent-transportation company and CTO of a healthcare EMR platform. My obsession is the experience, for users, customers, and the operators who run the business.
The path here.
Problems solved,
at scale.
A sample of engagements where technology decisions moved the business, not just the backlog.
Redesigning the operating model for AI
Redesigning business, product and engineering processes for the AI-native era, rebuilding workflows, delivery and decision-making so the whole organization operates AI-first.
DORA transformation in three months
Took a low-performing org to elite DORA metrics in 90 days, restructuring process, GitOps and CI/CD to make delivery fast and predictable.
HIPAA-grade compliance, delivered
Achieved SOC 2 Type I & II across HealthTech, InsureTech and E-commerce while leading offshore teams under HIPAA protocols.
On-prem to cloud-native, no drama
Re-platformed legacy enterprise systems to Kubernetes cloud-native, Azure, AWS, GCP, with downtime held under an hour.
Rescued troubled SaaS products
Inherited codebases with no tests, docs, or team, rebuilt engineering, led product, and turned six products around in 3–6 months.
One-year cloud-native migration
Re-architected an on-prem logistics platform to cloud-native over a year with zero downtime, team built and led end-to-end.
Where I create leverage.

Turnarounds & Diligence
Stabilize troubled products, assess technical risk, and chart a credible path to recovery.
On the record.
