Bookbuzz was created by corporate training professionals, Ron Immink and Yanky Fachler. Both are passionate about books, both are accomplished business authors in their own right, and both have accumulated extensive global business experience.

Ron Immink, Chief Executive Officer

With a BA in Small Business, Ron has lectured, trained and consulted extensively in the area of starting and growing a business. He has worked with businesses, enterprise support agencies and governments in Western Europe, the USA, and former CIS countries. His expertise in business development has led to frequent assignments on behalf of the European Bank of Reconstruction and Development and the OECD. He was previously the manager of Invent, the commercialization gateway of Dublin City University, where he managed a portfolio of over 40 innovative technology ventures. A former business development director at Oak Tree Press, Ireland's leading business book publisher, Ron has also written best-selling business titles and workbooks published in Ireland, the UK and the USA.

Ron believes that the major challenge facing businesses is the ability to respond appropriately and swiftly to the ever-changing business world. He believes that the ideas contained in books are the ideal platform for promoting fresh thinking.

Yanky Fachler, Chief Learning Officer

After gaining a BA and MA in social science in the UK, Yanky was a management and marketing communication consultant in Israel before moving to Ireland. His company, High Octane Communication, designs and delivers corporate training in communication skills, people skills and marketing skills. Yanky is a conference facilitator, speaking coach, entrepreneurship expert, and a much-in-demand motivational speaker who has addressed audiences in Ireland, the USA, the UK, Poland and the Czech Republic. Yanky’s business books include Fire In The Belly – an exploration of the entrepreneurial spirit, and Chutzpah – unlocking the maverick mindset for success, both published by Oak Tree Press. He features regularly in the print and electronic media, and has a monthly business book column in BusinessPlus.

In his quest to understand why so many CEO’s claim that their biggest challenge is getting executives to open their minds, Yanky developed the Bookbuzz corporate learning model, a methodology for enhancing a company’s collective intelligence.
