Edan Yago (Nahari) came to live in Israel from South Africa at age 11. He studied at Tichon Hadash high school in Tel Aviv and became very involved in Siach ve Sig, the Israeli youth debating organization.  He entered and won competitions locally and abroad and later became a coach for the Israel team, coaching them and accompanying them in competitions abroad.  While still at school he began teaching debate at various schools as part of the English curriculum. He continued with this until he left for the USA.

On completion of his compulsory service in the Israeli army, Edan completed a BA in Philosophy and Rhetoric at Tel Aviv University. He established “Charisma”, a business communication consulting firm specializing in guiding top high tech and business management with their presentations for global audiences. He was accepted to the Tepper School of Business at Carnegie Mellon, in Pittsburgh, PA, USA, where he completed his MBA studies.

Edan also left his mark on the Tel Aviv social scene.  He orchestrated the first Tel Aviv “water fight” which today, in its eleventh year, has become an integral part of the Tel Aviv social calendar, and enjoyed by thousands each year.
