Program Overview

Welcome, my name is George Benaroya. During the day, I work as a CFO or Chief Financial Officer. I started my career at Procter & Gamble, then worked at Tetra Pak, Nivea, and currently in Private Equity.
I spent half of my career at headquarters in Switzerland, New York, and other cities; and the other half managing local operations in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and currently the United States. I have lived in 9 countries. These operations generated sales ranging from $20 million to $2 billion.
During my career, I visited customers and operations in 193 countries.
Once a week, I do something I am passionate about. I teach a postgraduate class at NYU, New York University. During the Christmas holidays, at the University of Salamanca in Spain, and on weekends, I teach a free program for high school students who connect online from 100 countries. There is no better return on investment than education.
I do not use textbooks in any of my classes. In each course, students learn something they can use immediately, at work, to get a job, or for their own personal benefit. You can see what students say about my teaching style by searching my name on Google.
For my classes at NYU, I invite the highest-level executives from Fortune 500 companies to speak to the class. The sessions are open to everyone, and the students themselves ask these executives questions directly. You are invited.
I make each of the lessons independent from the others (one lesson per course). Join me to learn how to manage a small business or a global multinational, and how to be Global, Profitable, and Ethical.
