Eitan Berglas

Eitan Berglas (Hebrew: ברגלס איתן‎; 28 June 1934 – August 8, 1992) was an Israeli economist and banker. He was chairman of Bank Hapoalim from 1985 to 1992.[1]

Born in Tel Aviv,[2] Berglas attended the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and then earned a master's and doctorate in economics from the University of Chicago.[3]

Berglas helped found the economics department at Tel Aviv University in 1966. In 1992, shortly after Berglas' death, the university decided to expand the department into a business school, which was named in Berglas' honor.[4]
