Students and graduates of the Peres Academic Center talk about their learning experience.
The Menomdain-Peres program for managers is an opportunity to integrate meaningful learning into my busy professional and personal life, which can add another layer to my social responsibility as a CEO in a large industry.
The program, which allows for an in-depth and educational introduction to leaders and entrepreneurs from various industries and businesses, shows how innovative solutions can be implemented which will increase the positive impact on society as a whole.
Yiftach Atzmon
CEO of the Coffee and Confectionery Division, Strauss Group
In recent years, I have been following with concern the rift in our country. The sense of closeness between different groups in Israeli society inspires in me into a strong desire to influence and promote constructive discourse and solutions that will bring about unity and solidarity. I feel that through the Menomadin-Peres initiative for managers, I have the space to contribute, lead teams and create a positive bond between group members.

The news about the Menomadin-Peres initiative for managers made me feel that this is the right place for me, especially at this time. It’s all about a bunch of guys looking for ways to make the place where we live better for us and for generations to come. I believe that this group will be able to do many significant things and I am excited to be a part of it.
Hadar Amir
CO-founder, Sheba Beyond
Having spent 16 years as a lawyer, the events of October 2023 were a turning point in my life. I felt ashamed for having neglected the country that I truly love, despite my professional success. I decided to devote considerable time to Israel’s future, beyond volunteering for reserve duty. The program caught my attention as the perfect platform for attaining leadership tools and linking to others with a similar vision, with the foal of working together towards a better future for our country.

Having been raised and educated on love for our country, and as someone who sees himself, particularly in our current times, as committed both as a citizen and an individual, to continuing Israel’s existence and stability, I believe that the unique training track initiated by managers will provide me with deeper knowledge of the processes and conflicts which highlight the disparities between religion and state.
Shahar Ezrachi
VP Engineering, Ashdar
The recent period, and serving in Gaza, have shown me the vast disparity between the business world in which I operate, and state institutions and organizations. My exposure to new people and sectors is, from my perspective, an immense challenge, and makes me want to influence and bring about a better future for our country through the Peres-Menomadin Executive Initiative, which provides me with an opportunity to receive tools that enable bridging these disparities.
Ido Oren
VP Finances, in leading companies
It is precisely in the current era, where disorder and distrust dominate our daily lives, that each of us is requires to act and impact. This is the only way we can continue to raise future generations of excellence, and promote the plethora of ideas that this unique nation of ours can offer, both to itself and to the world at large. Thank you for the privilege of being able to join group activities that lead to change.
Livnat Mizrahi Rinsky
CEO, IBI Investment House
The ability to lead change depends on two components: the first is us, our motivation and wish to instigate and act; the second is our interconnections, and the multifaceted nature existing and linking diverse sectors which, together, create the synergy of knowledge which comes to bear in leading change. The personal component, personal motivation, is what I contain; the group component is the Initiative.
