On Aug. 17, Tech alum and Israeli Olympic swimmer Gal Nevo was one of the seven members inducted into Georgia Tech’s Athletic Hall of Fame. “He [Mike Stamus] reached out and wanted to have a conversation,” said Nevo in his exclusive interview with the Technique, “And my initial thought is ‘Oh, well they heard about my startup and wanted me to donate as an alum.’ It was a five minute conversation and I was like, wow.”
Nevo swam in three Olympic Games in Beijing (2008), London (2012) and Rio de Janeiro (2016) for Israel, swimming Individual Medley and Butterfly events.
