Shimon Schocken
I am the founding dean of the Efi Arazi School of Computer Science, and co-founder and director of the Google-Reichman School of Technology.
Since its inception in 1995, the Efi Arazi school graduated 6,000+ students. Our alumni and faculty members have started up many successful companies whose combined value exceeds $20B. Ten of these companies became Unicorns, and others were acquired by Google, Microsoft, Oracle, Intel, Cisco, AOL, eBay, Facebook, SalesForce, McAfee, CA, Apple, and Unity.
Before joining Reichman in Israel I was a tenured professor at NYU (1985 to 1995). I was a visiting professor at Harvard (2005), Stanford (2012), and Princeton (2023). I served as chairman of the Computer Science Curriculum committee of Israel's Ministry of Education (2009 to 2012).
