Journalist, Lifespan.io

Arkadi is a seasoned journalist and op-ed author with a passion for learning and exploration. His interests span from politics to science and philosophy. Having studied economics and international relations, he is particularly interested in the social aspects of longevity and life extension. He strongly believes that life extension is an achievable and noble goal that has yet to take its rightful place on the very top of our civilization’s agenda – a situation he is eager to change.

Bi-lingual Hebrew and Russian copywriter, translator, editor, creative director, worked in network agencies (Saatchi&Saatchi, Grey), and in some smaller creative boutiques. Today actively freelancing. Highly experienced in marcom adaptation and transcreation, having collaborated continuously since 2007 with some of the world's leading transcreation agencies (Tag Europe, Text Appeal, Oliver) on major brands, inc.
