ICRAVE’s Lionel Ohayon on Designing the Las Vegas Sphere + Other Brave Ideas

Tune in to the latest podcast episode from Clever and listen in as host Amy Devers talks to ICRAVE founder and CEO Lionel Ohayon about some of his most daring projects – including The Sphere in Las Vegas!

Lionel Ohayon was born in Canada to a family spanning Morocco, Israel, and Spain. This multi-cultural upbringing armed him with the ability to synthesize different inputs and understand complex topics from an early age, as well as an innate appreciation of hospitality. Ohayon founded ICRAVE as a design-build startup in 2002 and several ground-breaking projects later, is now leading the charge in reinventing hospitality experiences like the immersive and otherworldly Las Vegas Sphere and the anxiety-reducing David H. Koch Center for Cancer Care at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
