Doron Abramovici (he/him)

Doron’s involvement with the Jewish community in Victoria commenced when he came out at the age of 26 and was one of the founding members of the Jewish Community Council of Victoria’s (JCCV) LGBTI Reference Group in 2009; fast forward 13 years and he is the first, openly gay Vice President of the JCCV.  Doron strongly believes in social and economic justice and his career and pro-bono work to date is a testaement to these values.  Doron has worked in the banking and non-for-profit sectors for the last 21 years, most recently starting his own consulting firm – DMA Consulting.
