Together they form the country’s employment and economy engine. Kiram Baloum, CEO and Founder of Jasmine stated: “It is now, more than ever, that business owners need reinforcement, support, guidance, and professional business advice and mentoring. The situation now also calls for the initiative of senior executives and policymakers in leading companies and corporations, to have them contribute their knowledge and experience, and to work hand in hand with Jasmine in its endeavor to achieve economic independence for diverse businesses in the multi-cultural Israeli society. Together we can bring forth stability, economic growth, and even prevent poverty and unemployment.”
