Tali, an Ohio native was raised with strong family values. As a child, she always knew what she wanted and wasn’t afraid to fight for it. She has strong ties to her Hungarian and Israeli roots and is very connected to both cultures.
Tali ventured to the ‘Big Apple’ in 2005 to attend the Laboratory Institute of Merchandising. She graduated with a Bachelor in Business Administration with a major in Fashion Merchandising and a minor in Fashion Styling. Tali believes that there is a great parallel in

In late 2010, Tali was hired as the senior catering manager at Esprit Events. In this role, she worked alongside Chef Guy in crafting intricate new menus and focused her efforts on business development.
While at Esprit Events, the idea of Beyond Sushi came to fruition and in December 2012, Guy and Tali took a leap of faith to open their first brick and mortar location. Tali took on all aspects of business development, marketing and developed the Beyond Sushi catering division. Her background in fashion and styling has made Tali a visionary in all design aspects
for each restaurant location with the talented team at Atal Design Group. Tali and Guy wed in August 2013 and welcomed two sons in 2014 and 2018. Their growing family is now the driving force behind their dedication to Beyond Sushi.
