Ed Mlavsky
Dr. Ed Mlavsky is one of the pioneers of the High-Tech Industry in Israel and is founding partner and chairman of Gemini, one of Israel s first top-tier venture capital funds. In this riveting autobiography he tells his story from childhood in war-torn London, obtaining a PhD from the University of London and moving to the USA in 1956 where he worked as a scientist and researcher, laboratory manager and business executive. He moved to Israel in 1979 when he was appointed director of BIRD the Israel-US Binational Industrial Research and Development Foundation, where he initiated more than 300 joint projects in a wide range of science-based industries. The book is replete with entertaining anecdotes involving high-powered executives and world class scientists on both sides of the Atlantic and gives valuable insights into how to develop serious business relationships and conclude successful deals. It is also an invaluable introduction to Israel's high-tech industry about which Bill Gates had this to say: "Israel is a major player in the high-tech world... There is a greater concentration of talented high-tech manpower here in comparison to other countries - almost to the extent of Silicon Valley."
