Born and raised in Israel, Mr. Liss decided as a young man to explore and travel around the world. After several years in Africa, he moved to Asia and started a jewelry business in Japan. By introducing high quality, unique Israeli jewelry to Japanese department stores, Mr. Liss made a name for himself and his company in Tokyo. His company, Gishur, originates from the Hebrew word for "bridging," symbolizing a connection between his home country of Israel and Japan.

Eager to learn more about management and Japan, Mr. Liss joined GLOBIS University as one of its first foreign MBA students.
