Efi Arazi

Israeli technology entrepreneur (1937–2013)

Efi Arazi is remembered in business for decisions whose consequences outlived the decade that made them.

The record lists Efi Arazi as Israeli technology entrepreneur (1937–2013).

Efi Arazi was born at Jerusalem in 1937. His recorded nationality is Israel. He was educated at Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as entrepreneur, manager and businessperson.

What a company leaves behind is usually infrastructure, habit and employment rather than a name.

Recognition followed: Edwin H. Land Medal (1997).

That the business was built from Israel shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Efi Arazi died in 2013, aged 76. What remains is the enterprise and its consequences, which is the only durable measure of a commercial life.
