Leave the world better than you found it
Tikkun Olam, often translated as “repairing the world,” is a principle David Perez learned early in life and has carried with him ever since, shaping his approach to business, philanthropy, and humanitarian work.
WHERE IT BEGAN
Lessons that shaped a life
David’s understanding of Tikkun Olam began with his mother. Her teachings on compassion, justice, and giving shaped the way he saw responsibility from an early age and became a compass for how he would later lead, build, and serve.
Born in Casablanca and raised in Philadelphia, David also grew up with an awareness of his family’s Sephardic history and resilience. Together, those influences shaped a belief he has carried throughout his life: what you build matters most when it can benefit others.
TIKKUN OLAM IN ACTION
The work it inspired
Across more than four decades of entrepreneurship and humanitarian work, that belief has influenced the way David builds companies, brings people together, and responds when help is needed.
It is less about a single initiative than a way of approaching life: use what you have well, help where you can, and create something that extends beyond yourself.
LOOKING AHEAD
Carrying it forward
Today, that philosophy continues through David’s work with Lumati and the Lumati Foundation, connecting longevity and wellness with a broader commitment to improving lives.
Through the Foundation, that commitment extends to supporting communities, expanding access to wellness, and creating meaningful impact for generations to come.
