Program overview

Welcome, my name is George Benaroya. During the day, I work as a CFO, or Chief Financial Officer. I started my career at Procter & Gamble, then Tetra Pak, Nivea and now Private Equity.
I spent one half of my career at headquarters in Switzerland, New York and other cities; and one half running local operations in Europe, Asia, Latin America and now the US. I lived in 9 countries. These operations ranged in sales from $20 million to $2 Billion.
During my career, I visited clients and operations in 193 countries.
Once per week, I do something I love. I teach a graduate class at NYU, New York University. During the Christmas break at the University of Salamanca in Spain, and on weekends, a program for free, for high school students who join online from 100 countries. There is no better return on investment than education.
There is no textbook in any of my classes. Each course, students learn something that they can use right away, at work, to get a job or for their own personal benefit. You can see what students say about my teaching style when you google my name.
For my classes at NYU, I invite the most senior executives from Fortune 500 companies to speak to the class. The sessions are open to everyone and students ask questions themselves, to these executives. You are invited.
I make each one of lessons separate from each other (one lesson per course). Please join me to learn how to manage a small company or a global multinational, to be Global, Profitable and Ethical.

SYLLABUS:

Headcount. Why do companies hire contractors?
Nowadays, services are the main economic activity. Even if you produce cosmetics, your highest cost is people, not making the skincare cream. For Google, Facebook, or the place where you get your hair cut, people, is the key ingredient. And yet we don’t teach that in school, maybe in HR, but definitely not in marketing, or finance. That is the first thing I teach my students.

At the end of the session, you will have learned:

How companies use headcount.
Why firms hire contractors
Why contractors prefer working as contractors
How much should you be paid as a contractor?
What is Productivity? Why folks with no education are 1,000 less likely to lose your luggage than American Airlines?
Full-Time Equivalents, explaining your boss you have 1 not 4 employees.
Restructuring before Covid.
Should we pay severance in the United States?
Headcount Assignment. How to calculate how many people you need on your team and persuade your company to approve it.
