Kellogg/Recanati-10

Let me start out by saying that this is the first update on KR-10 alumni to appear in Kellogg World. I was busy preparing for my marriage to Ari Varon in September, but meanwhile have a number of updates to share. I hope to have many more interesting bits of information for the coming issues.

There have been many professional changes as well in our class.

Eyal Henkin was appointed CEO of Shachar Holdin Group.

Noah Rosen became a trader at Old School Partners, a local hedge fund.

Mark Volpert became vice president of business development at RaySat described by some as "satellite TV on wheels."

Nelly Assouline is providing advisory and strategic consultation to Israeli corporate and financial entities focusing on international (and particularly European) solutions.

Some members of our class have transferred internationally.

Adam Ferman and family moved to Redmond, Wash., for Adam's new job as a program manager at Microsoft USA.

David Avital became CEO of a new company and spends his time between Israel and Sofia, Bulgaria.

Tomer Segev and family moved to Shanghai, where he will become president of Camtek China.

Udi Bobrovsky and his family also moved to Guangzho, China, where he hopes to find many exciting opportunities.

Shay Mandel and his family moved to Hyderabad, India, where he is principal program manager in the visual studio team system business at the Microsoft India development center. Shay writes: "India is a fascinating country and we enjoy our time here. We plan to have quite a few trips in the APAC area. I am in touch with Chetan Mahajan EMP-66 whom I met in Chicago and later on in the international week we had in Israel. We were in touch when he visited Israel and now he is in Delhi, so we hope to meet soon."
