Arnon Dror attended his alma mater, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem in the late eighties through early nineties and credits his education to much of his professional success. With recent news of the University’s new rank of 11th place globally for mathematics (June, 2017, Shanghai Ranking Consultancy), the Xerox VP has made a donation in the hopes that incoming students will have the the same opportunities as he did in his Finance and Economics higher education programs at the university.
The successful career that Arnon has enjoyed has taken him from his most recent position with Presstek to now VP of Finance for the US channel group of Xerox. “I was positioned very well for my career thanks to the professors and programs at The Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It gives me great joy to see this wonderful school soaring to new heights across so many disciplines, not just math” smiled Arnon. The university is also placed 40th in political sciences, 39thth in communication and 46th in economics.
