Episode #78: Oshri Deri – Former Brown Hotels CEO, Leading real estate entrepreneur

In this episode we speak with someone who has truly climbed his way to the top, starting from humble beginnings and pushing forward with determination.

Oshri Deri, began his career at just 14 years old, working as a dishwasher. From there, he transitioned into hospitality, moving from service roles to high-level management.

Oshri has managed some of Israel’s most prestigious hotels, and then went on to spearhead Brown Hotels’ European expansion, particularly in Greece. 

Nowadays he’s a real estate entrepreneur, leading million-dollar deals across Israel and Greece. 

Oshri’s rise from service roles to running some of Israel’s most prestigious hotels didn’t stop at the top of hospitality — it became the foundation for spearheading Brown Hotels’ expansion into Greece and, eventually, for stepping into real estate, where he now closes million-dollar deals across both countries. That progression, from managing single properties to running an international expansion to building his own portfolio, is the throughline of an episode that treats each stage as preparation for the next rather than a separate chapter.

We discuss:

  • The importance of optimism, resilience, and the human element in leadership
  • The challenges faced in the hospitality sector
  • How crisis can lead to transformative leadership experiences.
  • The power of constructive feedback as an engine for growth 
  • The value of adapting to new challenges and continuously evolving as a leader
  • The impact of social media and changing industry dynamics
  • And more!

Enjoy your listen

From washing dishes at 14 to leading European hotel expansion and now real estate deals across two countries, Oshri’s story is a study in reinvention, and the conversation digs into the leadership lessons he’s carried with him at every step, from handling crisis to knowing when feedback is a gift.
