I have known Ron Diskin for many years, since his stay in Israel. He was invited to our home for Saturday evening dinners, like one of the family. We held many talks on various topics, like the meaning of teamwork, values, studies, social and personal behavior, the future world professions, behavior in stress situations, the world economy situation, etc. I have found Ron to be a very intelligent young man, with strong integrity, ready to apply and learn new issues, ready to work, willing to achieve targets. He will be eager to learn any job that will suit his abilities. I believe in this young man.

I am writing this letter of recommendation for Ron Diskin as he is applying for the Harvard Business School, and I cannot think of a more suited candidate than Ron. I have met and known Ron since 2003 when I was posted in Los Angeles as Consul General of the Czech Republic. His hunger for knowledge, integrity, and very early and successful experience in business and leadership is something I have always been impressed by. I wish him all the best, always. Your prestigious institution will be thrilled to have him join you, I am sure.

Our talks are intellectually stimulating because of his vast knowledge of history, finance, technology, culture, and many other topics. The diversity and depth of his knowledge is extraordinary. He has superior work ethic, intelligence, passion, respect, integrity, and values. He is a loyal friend. Any academic, financial, technical, military, or other institution will be lucky to have him.

I met Ron Diskin in our Harvard Business School cohort, and he stood out immediately in his genuine understanding of how all the pieces in an ecosystem fit together. He’s no-nonsense, deeply informed, and consistently brings fresh, strategic perspectives to complex problems. Ron has the courage to make tough calls, and the clarity to communicate with honesty and conviction. He’s a straight shooter with strong strategic vision and the work ethic to execute, and go the distance.
