Celebrating now 25 years anniversary of leadership in IT strategy, change management, continuous Innovation and smart digital transformation, Meir discusses his purpose-driven approach to innovation, the “win-win-win” philosophy at the heart of his leadership, and how GIV Solutions is empowering industries worldwide. From municipalities to transportation systems, his vision is clear: create real impact through technology, empower professionals, and deliver long-term value across every project.
Founding with Purpose
We started the interview by asking, “What inspired you to establish GIV Solutions, and how has your vision evolved since its inception in 2001?”
Meir Givon replied, “When I founded GIV Solutions in 2001, my goal was to bring real innovation into enterprise management by using smart, data-driven technologies. I believed technology should do more than automate, it should enable transformation. Over the years, as digital landscapes shifted, our vision evolved from national projects to a global strategy. Today, we serve clients across regions, but our mission remains the same: to deliver purposeful innovation that adds real value. We don’t just build software; we help organizations prosper, evolve, make better decisions, improve efficiency, and stay resilient, with holistic approach from core processes to data driven, technologies, smart, rule based systems.
From municipalities to transportation and infrastructure, we’re helping industries transition from reactive to proactive management, setting compliance monitoring, while reducing risk, and setting the systems for empowering every role player in the organization and its customers. Our journey has always been about progress with vision, integrity, and the belief that we can make things better through collaboration and innovation. That foundational belief still drives me today as we continue to expand our global footprint.”
Building Success through Synergy
The Worlds Times: GIV Solutions emphasizes a “win-win-win” success model. Could you elaborate on how this philosophy shapes your leadership approach?
Meir Givon replied, “The “win-win-win” philosophy is the cornerstone of how we work and lead at GIV Solutions for sustainable long term prosperity. It has been exceptionally proven over the passing 25 years. I believe that for any venture to be successful in the long run, it must deliver value for all three key stakeholders: the client, the company, and our professionals. If the client achieves their goals, our team feels empowered and motivated, and the company thrives that’s true success. If our technology & services creates value for the customer, the value is paid for, to GIV, we share that received resources, between the company and the variety of compensations to the team. It’s a balanced, motivating, ethical, and sustainable approach. In leadership, this means nurturing talent, prioritizing collaboration, and listening carefully to both clients and internal teams. I lead with the intention to build trust, inside the company and outside, with our customers and partners, create shared goals, and ensure that no one is left behind in the process. We avoid short-term gains in favor of long-term impact, and that’s allowed us to build lasting relationships, retain great people, and consistently exceed expectations across projects and regions.”
Transforming Asset-Intensive Industries
The Worlds Times: What key industries and challenges does GIV Solutions focus on solving through its data-driven solutions?
Meir Givon replied, “At GIV Solutions, we specialize in helping asset-intensive industries that provides services, such as municipalities, transportation networks, campus management, Roads, Highways, rail organizations, rolling fleets, tunnels, Hospitals, Real estate for rental, Elderly housing & living, and manufacturing organizations with intensive infrastructure & Assets. These sectors often struggle with fragmented data, outdated infrastructure, and inefficient operations. Our mission is to provide smart, integrated, and data-driven digital solutions that address these challenges head-on, reducing risks and improve dramatically value, quality, resilience & evolving. We build holistic management systems for such organizations with advanced flexible functionality and full integration to financial, and monitoring, control systems. In a way that improves visibility, enable predictive maintenance, and empower decision-makers with real-time insights. For example, our smart EAM (Enterprise Asset Management) solutions help clients transition from reactive to proactive operations, and to proactive autonomous cross organization processes & workflows’ monitored with SLA – service level. We also support digital transformation journeys by integrating best-in-class platforms like HxGN EAM and Microsoft. The result is improved service delivery, reduced costs, and better asset longevity.

Innovating with Intention
The Worlds Times: How do you approach innovation at GIV Solutions, and what role does purpose play in the process?
Meir Givon replied, “Innovation without purpose doesn’t drive real change. At GIV Solutions, every innovation begins with a clear question: what problem are we solving, and what value will it create? We believe in innovation that is meaningful focused on enhancing sustainability, improving operations, or solving industry-specific challenges. Our approach is not about chasing trends; it’s about developing smart, practical solutions with long-term impact. We involve our teams early in the ideation process, encourage cross-functional collaboration, and validate ideas with real-world feedback. Purpose guides every stage—from R&D to implementation so we ensure what we build isn’t just new, but genuinely useful. This purposeful innovation has helped us win awards and earn long-term client trust. More importantly, it keeps our teams motivated and inspired. For us, it’s not about being first it’s about being relevant, valuable, and impactful in everything we create. GIV Solutions is a continuous innovating intelligent entity, and I am content to say that all the solutions we have innovated in our journey are operational with satisfied paying customers, long term contracts, customer’s testimonials & references, appreciated and awarded by professional ITC communities globally.”
GIV’s Global Consistency Strategy
Lastly we asked, “With global expansion into the EU and Americas, how do you ensure GIV’s values and quality standards are maintained across regions?”
“Global expansion brings exciting opportunities, but it also requires consistency. As we’ve grown into the EU and the Americas, we’ve worked hard to ensure our core values excellence, trust, and innovation remains central. We maintain quality through standardized best practices, rigorous training, and constant communication across our international teams. Each regional branch whether in Israel, Europe, or the U.S.—operates with the same commitment to client success and operational integrity. Our strategic partnerships with leading platforms like Hexagon, and Flyability, also help ensure high performance and compatibility wherever we work. Culturally, I am leading personally the global expansion while mentoring and delivering the culture thru the C level, the regional leaders, Products and project managers. In this process, Yossi Efrony as the Israel CEO, TOM GIVON as the global VP Marketing & solutions, are assisting to manage the business, while the technology, and projects operation VP’S are managing and guiding the project teams, the development & technology teams. We align our teams by focusing on shared goals and values, creating a unified vision despite different locations. Our strength lies in being both global and local adapting to specific market needs while upholding the standards that have built our reputation. It’s a continuous process, but one that’s essential to delivering consistent value and building trust worldwide.” Meir Givon concluded
