Co-Founder, CEO
Shlomit Malka is a business and technology entrepreneur with a unique background as one of Israel’s leading international fashion models. Over the course of her modeling career, she collaborated with iconic global brands including Chanel, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Roberto Cavalli, and appeared on the covers of Vogue, Elle, Glamour, Grazia, Marie Claire, and Harper’s Bazaar.
Beyond fashion, Shlomit built a presence in television as a host on prominent Israeli programs before transitioning into entrepreneurship and community leadership. Managing her own career independently sparked a passion for helping others do the same – particularly freelancers and creative professionals navigating the realities of independent business growth.
Today, as co-founder and CEO of Happ, Shlomit shapes the company’s product vision and community strategy, drawing on her cross-industry experience to build tools that empower the next generation of independent professionals.
Originally from Israel, Shlomit now lives in New York with her dog Bono and her cat Jeremiah, where she continues to lead at the intersection of creativity, technology, and business.
