About the Founder - Shimshon Merlin

Led by Experience. Driven by People.

OWBC is led by founder Shimshon Merlin who's lived every side of business—from warehouse floors to global negotiations.
With over 25 years of experience in building a family-run Kosher food business, leading teams, and creating lasting partnerships across several countries and continents, he brings a rare blend of strategic thinking and emotional intelligence.

His belief?

"Business is about people. When you put human connection at the core, growth becomes sustainable—and meaningful."

We don't come with off-the-shelf strategies. We meet you where you are, understand what drives you, and help you grow from the inside out.

If one takes a moment to truly listen, observe, validate, and empathise, you give someone the experience of being seen and heard. That’s what opens the door to trust, honesty, and meaningful progress. That’s why we use the LOVE approach in every interaction: Listen, Observe, Validate, Empathise.

Who We Work With

Is OWBC Right for You?

We work best with business and team leaders who are:

  • Scaling a growing business and need focused support
  • Transitioning through change (growth, restructure, pivot)
  • Overwhelmed by complexity and need a fresh perspective
  • Tired of surface-level advice and want meaningful strategy
  • Committed to values like integrity & clarity.

Whether you're running a family business, leading a small team, or navigating solo, if you value people and purpose as much as profit — we might be a great match.

Our Approach

At OWBC, we believe strategy only works when it’s grounded in reality—and driven by people.

We take a hands-on, human-first approach: listening deeply, asking the right questions, and helping you cut through the noise.

We call it Business in Motion—strategy powered by emotional intelligence. Because building a business isn’t just about systems and spreadsheets—it’s about people, connection, and momentum.
