Employee Spotlight: Dotan Beck

At ECO-OS, our team members are passionate about creating impactful solutions for sustainability. We're proud to spotlight Dotan Beck, one of our talented developers, about his path to ECO-OS, his work, and his passion for the environment.

How did you become interested in sustainability?

My interest in sustainability started from a young age. I grew up traveling outdoors with my family, and over time, it evolved into a real love for nature. I picked up nature photography in middle school, capturing the beauty of sunrise, sunset, and night skies. Being out there, immersed in the natural world, shaped my values.

During my time in the army, I learned to be independent, doing things like map reading and foraging for food. After my service, I moved to Kibbutz Grofit and Yotvata, which is surrounded by beautiful nature. I spent a lot of time there, and I developed a deeper appreciation for nature and sustainability.

What led you to combine coding with sustainability?

Before joining ECO-OS, I ran a successful nature photography business. I traveled the world to capture beautiful scenes but eventually realized I missed using my analytical skills. That's when I pivoted to computer science, which I now love. During university, I missed being in nature, so I took courses in green and sustainable business, which deepened my interest. That’s also where I met Noam Gressel, one of the co-founders of ECO-OS. The intersection of tech and sustainability made perfect sense to me.

Can you describe your role at ECO-OS?

My role is to help develop the ECO-OS ESG accounting platform so that users can perform their calculations and tasks as smoothly and automatically as possible. I’m responsible for writing code, planning and designing features, and guiding interns who join our team.

One of my biggest achievements at the company has been redesigning our calculation engine. We needed more specific calculations in the system architecture to better reflect evolving international ESG accounting standards, which involved revamping the entire core system. It was a complex challenge and planning took a while, but because we invested so much time planning it, writing the code took just two weeks, and it was nearly bug-free. Seeing that come together was incredibly rewarding.

What’s your favorite part about working at ECO-OS?

I love solving complex problems—not just coding challenges, but the kind that require deep thinking and creative solutions, usually involving data. I especially enjoy helping my co-workers by creating features and hacks that can make their work easier and more efficient.

Any notable projects you’re excited about?

I’m leading some really exciting AI initiatives– we have a few in the works (such as the ECO-OS CSRD Navigator) that combine our unique knowhow with advanced AI capabilities and I’m confident it will be a game-changer for many companies.

What are your goals for the future?

In the short term, I want to help ECO-OS assist as many companies as possible in having a positive impact on the environment. Personally, I want to keep learning—about environmental issues, technology, everything I can. Being part of a company where I believe in the mission and the people is really important to me.

Can you share a fun fact about yourself?

Outside of work, I recently completed a paragliding course. My wife and I are now both certified, and I had my first solo flight over the Dead Sea. It was absolutely amazing!

Glossary

Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG): A comprehensive framework used to evaluate a company's commitment to sustainable and ethical practices. ESG encompasses three key areas: Environmental factors, such as a company's carbon footprint, resource usage, and environmental stewardship; Social factors, including employee relations, community involvement, and human rights; and Governance factors, which assess corporate leadership, transparency, ethical behavior, and stakeholder engagement. ESG criteria help stakeholders understand and evaluate a company's long-term sustainability and ethical impact on the world, guiding investment and operational decisions.
