Americans and Israelis
If you’re an Israeli company expanding to the USA
You now have teams both in Israel and in the US, and they are not working well together…
​
The Israelis think that the Americans are too formal, unfriendly, focused only on procedures, and the Americans think that the Israelis are sloppy, aggressive and unprofessional.
​
Bridging these culture differences will be critical to success.
​
​
I understand how both cultures work and think, and I’ll help
your teams overcome the gaps and collaborate better.
​
As a child, I grew up in both Israel and the US. As an executive,
I led the integration of an Israeli site post-acquisition and helped
many US-Israel teams collaborate successfully by leveraging their culture gaps.
