Mikhail Shneerson
President of the Company
As a child, Misha was an exemplary student, intelligent, creative, ambitious, was fond of the exact sciences, giving preference to mathematics and physics, and loved to tinker. Mikhail began to work at the age of 14 and very quickly rose to one of the highest levels of qualifications, which usually reached more mature and experienced workers. After completing his studies in high school, Mikhail entered the Kiev Technological College, which he graduated with honors. After serving in the ranks of the Soviet army, Mikhail continued his education at the Kiev Polytechnic Institute. In 1965, after a visit from his relatives from Israel, Mikhail became interested in such a distant country. Soon, despite his high position as chief technologist and a quite prosperous, well-ordered life, the desire to repatriate to Israel took over. In 1971 he applied to leave. In Israel, despite the lack of a language, he quickly found a job in his specialty. But in order to buy an apartment and a car, much more money was needed than the salary of an engineer. And here knowledge of different crafts came in handy. His skillful hands made it possible to achieve prosperity and acquire everything necessary for a dignified life in Israel. When the Yom Kippur War broke out, Michael was drafted into the Israel Defense Forces, where in a short time he earned a reputation as an excellent soldier and commander.
He gathered and trained the first generation of distributors, mostly new immigrants, and sent them to Russia to test their reaction to the products. It soon became clear that this was a success story. From that moment on, the company began to move forward rapidly. Over the years, Mikhail Shneerson has faced serious trials more than once, he successfully managed to lead the company through the financial crisis in Russia in 1998 and the global crisis in 2008. His steadfast character and many years of experience as a wise, sagacious leader are manifested again and again. The company overcomes challenges and continues to thrive.
The combination of humanity, genuine concern for distributors, innovative business vision and recognition of the MLM merits that served as the basis for business success, all this is reflected in every decision Mikhail makes.
