PINELLAS COUNTY JEWISH CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Meet the Founder & President
Uri Soglowek — Founder & President, Pinellas County Jewish Chamber of Commerce
Uri Soglowek is a globally recognized strategic positioning expert, entrepreneur, and community builder whose work spans five continents, multiple industries, and generations of business excellence. As the Founder and President of the Pinellas County Jewish Chamber of Commerce, Uri brings a rare combination of intelligence training, international business acumen, and deep community roots to one of Florida's most dynamic and growing business regions.
Born into one of Israel's most storied business dynasties — the Soglowek Corporation, a family enterprise founded in the 1850s now in its fifth generation — Uri grew up understanding business not as a transaction, but as a legacy. He began working in the family business at the age of 12, developing an instinct for strategy, negotiation, and relationship-building that would define his career for decades to come.
Intelligence Background & Strategic Expertise
Uri's strategic sharpness was honed through his service in Israeli military intelligence, where he mastered the art of reading people, markets, and environments with precision. He applies these same human intelligence principles today in his consulting practice, helping business owners, investors, and executives navigate complex decisions with clarity and confidence. Uri is the founder of several Us , where he specializes in luxury real estate marketing, international business development, and helping Israeli companies successfully enter US markets.
Media, Film & High-Profile Associations
Uri's influence extends well beyond the boardroom. His work has been featured on some of the world's most recognized streaming platforms, including Netflix and Amazon Prime, earning 17 film festival awards for productions that reflect his unique perspective on business, culture, and human connection. His content and campaigns have collectively reached over 1 billion people globally, establishing him as a trusted voice in both the media and business worlds.
Uri has cultivated high-profile associations across industries — from entertainment and luxury real estate to technology and international finance. He has collaborated with and brought together some of the most influential names in business and culture, including working alongside global brand campaigns and marquee developments such as the Valor Capital luxury tower launch featuring Ricky Martin and Ryan Serhant in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Mentorship & Community Impact
One of Uri's deepest commitments is to the next generation of entrepreneurs and business leaders. Drawing from over three decades of experience across global markets, Uri has served as a mentor to founders, startup teams, and business professionals in both the US and Israeli ecosystems. He believes that the most powerful investment anyone can make is in the people around them — and he carries that philosophy into every interaction as a mentor, advisor, and community builder.
As a family man based in Florida, Uri understands the importance of building a business community that reflects the values of trust, integrity, and intergenerational responsibility. His vision for the Pinellas County Jewish Chamber of Commerce is rooted in that same philosophy: a chamber that does not just connect businesses, but builds lasting legacies.
