Reuven Gorsht is a man on a mission—an entrepreneur with an insatiable drive to solve big, challenging problems and a knack for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary. His career is a testament to innovation, leadership, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Reuven's story begins with a clear philosophy: "There are no old roads to new places." This mindset has fueled his journey from corporate strategist to successful startup founder. Over the years, Reuven has played a pivotal role in evolving multi-billion dollar corporations, helping them pivot into new business models, products, and paradigms. But he didn’t stop there—he went on to build his own startup from the ground up, proving that he knows what it takes to create products, teams, and cultures that thrive on passion and execution. As the CEO of Deeded, Reuven is at the forefront of revolutionizing real estate transactions.

His vision is clear: make real estate transactions as seamless as possible for Canadians, and he’s doing just that—one closing at a time.
Before Deeded, Reuven co-founded MoveSnap, a platform that simplifies the moving process, which was so successful that it caught the attention of RBC and was acquired in 2019. This venture cemented his reputation as a visionary leader who can turn ideas into impactful businesses.
Reuven’s expertise is deeply rooted in his extensive experience with SAP, where he served as Global Vice President of Customer Strategy. During his 11 years at SAP, Reuven shaped strategies, led global presales operations, and navigated fast-growth markets.

For Reuven, the biggest challenge in scaling Deeded has been introducing a new concept to the market—a challenge he's tackled head-on with perseverance and innovation.
