ABOUT SHOLOM
A builder across industries, connected by execution.
Sholom Stein is an entrepreneur, technology executive, business builder and innovator. His work has developed at the intersection of technology, finance, enterprise sales, strategic partnerships and emerging markets.
Across a career spanning markets, enterprise software, sports technology, fintech, digital engagement and AI, the connecting idea has remained consistent: bring together people, technology and opportunity to turn ambitious concepts into operating businesses.
FROM MARKETS TO TECHNOLOGY
Commercial instincts, applied to changing technology.
Sholom’s professional foundation includes foreign exchange and commodities—experience that developed an appreciation for information, risk, timing and the way technology changes decision-making. That perspective led toward enterprise technology, international sales and business development.
Work with technology companies including Panaya and VATBox added experience in complex enterprise conversations, international markets and bringing new systems into established organizations. The operating test was always practical: technology has to solve a real problem, create measurable value and earn adoption.

Turning participation into a product story.
As XMANNA co-founder and CEO, Sholom brought those threads into sports technology, fan engagement, loyalty, gaming, digital experiences and emerging technology. The company explored how sports organizations, brands, communities and fans could participate more actively in the relationship around a club.
A defining public milestone came when Inter Miami CF announced a multi-year relationship with XMANNA, naming it the club’s first-ever jersey sleeve partner and Official Loyalty and Gamification Partner. The announcement identifies Steve Stein as XMANNA CEO and co-founder.
BUILDING FOR THE AGE OF AI
From software that helps to systems that can coordinate work.
Today, Sholom is focused on AI Creates AI and Eve: an agentic business operating-system direction built around connecting a company’s tools, information, people, permissions and workflows into an intelligent operating layer.
AI Creates AI’s public materials describe Eve as a system that plans, executes, reviews and improves across business functions. Its publicly filed work with Raphael Pharmaceutical provides a real-world example of the managed AI transformation, commercialization, communications, product and growth-operating model—without treating contracted value as cash collected.
