DR. EITAN BAR / CV & RESUME

In Summary:

I was born in 1984 in TelAviv, Israel. My professional background is in marketing and multimedia, and I worked for different advertising agencies. Later, I cofounded a small business in the field of web development (creating, hosting, designing, advertising, and security). I studied/became a photographer, producer, and director. My academic background (BA, MA, Doctorate) is in JewishChristian Bible and theology. In recent years, I have combined my professional and academic background in cofounding an international nonprofit. In my role as director, I led a multilingual tri-fold department of 15-10 staff in Israel and abroad, focused on media, advertising, and spiritual content creation, overseeing a seven-figure budget. Through this process, I became skilled in fundraising. I am also the author of several non-fiction books, a few of them in English, three of which became bestsellers. I was invited multiple times to give speeches in front of large crowds in the US, Europe, and Asia. I enjoy vision-casting, initiating, producing, and managing large-budget projects.
