Why do so many talented immigrants leave Israel within just a few years?
Abbey Onn, Executive Director of Nevo Network, joins IsraelTech to expose a challenge most don’t talk about: one in three English-speaking Olim leave Israel within three years and it’s often because they can’t find their footing professionally.
Nevo is changing that by creating long-term, high-impact support systems for immigrant talent in Israeli tech.
Abbey brings 20 years of leadership experience in higher ed and nonprofit sectors, including as CEO of InsideIL. She now partners with Michael Eisenberg (Aleph VC) to build a top-tier professional network for global talent already living in Israel, offering mentorship, cohort-based programming, leadership development, and a deep sense of community.
In this episode:
- Why career stagnation, not culture shock, is what drives many Olim to leave
- How Nevo helps turn potential into leadership
- What changed after October 7 and how Nevo’s members responded
- Why belonging is the foundation for long-term impact
If Israel wants to retain its best global minds, it needs to start with connection. This is how.
