Xiaomei Jin

2015 Program Manager Healthcare International Zhejiang

It was a unique experience to study the IMBA in Bar-Ilan. For a Chinese student, it is one of the best ways to get to know Israel, its innovation and enterpreneurship, as well as Jewish culture.

Yee Wang

2015 Executive Deputy Director Dantu Hi-tech Industrial Park

 It was wonderful. The part time program allowed me to learn more about Israel as well as its people in addition to my studies.

I loved it so much.

Shara Grifenhagen Ellenbogen

2006 Marketing Director Ariel Marketing

I made aliyah in 2005 with the idea that I'd "see how things go." My only plan was to take the year and do the IMBA at Bar-Ilan to give me something productive to do and help me sharpen my skills to enter the Israeli workforce. Coming from a non-profit background in the US, the classes and group work helped build a strong foundation for me. I made some amazing friends that year and build connections along the way which have helped me tremendously in my career as a marketing professional here in Israel. The IMBA helped me in my transition from non-profit to private sector and from life in the US to my new life in Israel. I'm grateful for the friends, connections, skills and knowledge I gained from the program.

It was an honor to graduate in the very first IMBA class. We had fantastic lecturers. I have leveraged my MBA many times throughout my career. Today I work at a multinational Fintech company.

Sharon Appelman

2002 Senior Vice President Neuberger Berman

"My undergraduate degree was in music performance, so the IMBA program represented a dramatic change in direction. However, I was delighted to discover an ability in certain subjects (statistics and economics) that I hadn't anticipated. I felt supported and encouraged by the staff and professors throughout the degree program. The knowledge I acquired during the MBA program has informed a lot of the work I have since performed as a financial planner and investment professional in New York City."
