Alumni Profiles

One benefit for me of studying in the International MBA program was getting the feeling of the international business environment, which I got thanks to the lecturers' combination of academics and experts from the industry.  I had a great experience meeting students from different countries and different backgrounds that enriched my business/social skills. The study trip to Vienna and the cooperation with Lauder Business School gave me another view of global business in Europe and the European business environment.  As a native Israeli, I  improved my business English and I think that the  experience in the program made it easier to approach business counterparts abroad and make business internationally and to get accepted for  English speaking positions. 

I thoroughly enjoyed doing my IMBA at Bar Ilan University. It helped me enhance my business skills, learn about different approaches to tackling work-based challenges and was a great opportunity to network with some amazing individuals from around the world.  

I really enjoyed the IMBA because I met some extraordinary people and some outstanding professors..  The fact that i was able to balance studies with my work and private life made it a good choice for me. Today I head the Business Development and Partnership of Duve, which is an amazing startup that helps hospitality professionals all over the world improve performance, increase profitability, and amplify their brand using a single platform. Creating a personalized, friendlier, and enhanced experience for their guests. Part of my job is to seek out the next big technologies and partnerships that will push the company forward, create growth engines, work with new enterprise clients, and strengthen Duve's offering within the industry.

This was the first time that I studied and lived in a foreign country for such a long time.  Thanks to this IMBA program, I have improved myself so fast in many areas.  I feel that this year of studying at Bar-Ilan was a precious gift of life.

Diversity and high caliber classmates and professors really made the experience very worthwhile. There is no better place than Israel to fully understand the impact of innovation and disruption. Highly recommended.!

I loved the community and relationships that came out from my time at Bar-Ilan. I learned valuable real-world skills and strategies that I implemented later on working at and scaling a world-class startup.

I feel that the program really helped me to understand my work better and I could see a change from before and after the program. I felt an improvement in my understanding of different topics and I could really relate what I studied directly to my work. This connection helped me to achieve a better perspective about how things should be done and how things work on a managerial level

After working for 20 years, I decided to search for a rich MBA program to add to my qualifications and skills. The International MBA at Bar Ian was the perfect decision. The program is full of new information and business skills and the tools used to transfer the information and exchange knowledge were very efficient. The program was a distinguished platform for various students to meet from different cultures and exchange experiences. There was very effective interaction between students and very professional lecturers.  It is a unique gathering for exchange of cultural experiences and knowledge.
