Gilad Ness-Berlin, Business Management Advisor, gilad@ecolibris.net
Growing up in an Israeli Moshav (a type of cooperative semi-agricultural community), Gilad has always been surrounded by trees. Until today, his family still owns fruit orchards, which he is responsible to irrigate during the hot Israeli summer. Still, his greatest interest has been and still is economics and business. He holds an MBA from Tel Aviv University, worked for a few years in the Israeli Ministry of Finance, and in the last couple of years he runs his family business - Berlin Technologies. Gilad will provide Eco-Libris with his expertise and experience in business management and strategy, as well as a few tips on irrigation.

When he is not in his office, he likes to spend his time with his wife, Shirly, and his two daughters and new-born son. He also likes to watch soccer games, practice yoga and dance classic dances (no, you won't see him in 'dancing with stars', not yet).

Favorite books: "Conversation with God" by Neale Donald Walsch, "The Catcher in the Rye" by J. D. Salinger, "What Does The Bird Care" by Hanoch Levin and "Positive Thinking As a Way of life" by Shirly Ness-Berlin.
