It is a great interview! Both the reporter and Hasso were not afraid to be bold.
It is also a common criticism in the local financial newspapers that Israeli startups have a problem with rapid international growth because of language/cultural differences, so it was interesting for me to compare what he said also to the local scene and not just the American one.
- mbesto 14y agoVery cool. I worked in support, and would deal with some of the portal guys from time to time in Ra'anana
- maayank 14y agoWould be interesting to hear your take on [1] :-) In any case, if you're ever in the greater Tel Aviv area give me a shout!

- mbesto 14y agoI'm actually considering a Tel Aviv trip in the next year. Would love to make it out there at some point. I'm based in London now so it's a (relatively) easy trip over. In regards to working with Israelis... The only interaction I had was during an SAP escalation. Typically (and was the case here) customers are extremely demanding during escalations and SAP (globally) would bend over backwards for them. I was in America at the time and working with the guys in Ra'anana. In many cases they pushed back to us and would get very frustrated. Overall I think it was their attitude towards being part of the team that wasn't that great.
