Ashley Perry (1986-92‪)‬ The Road from Carmel

Joining Jill and Doron on the 15th episode of the podcast, to tell us his story, is Ashley Perry (1986-92), a senior Israeli political and communications consultant and policy and election campaign advisor.
 
Ashley consults for and advises international leaders, governments and companies globally.  He is currently an external advisor to Israel's Minister of Intelligence, Minister of Agriculture and others in the Israeli government.  He was named one of the top 50 Olim from the UK who have made a significant contribution to help shape the State of Israel, and regularly appears on the podcast 'Israel Insider'.  Ashley lives in Efrat in Israel.


Hear Ashley talk about nocturnal wheelchair parkour contests in Newnham, his record-setting 3 hours-long Shabbat afternoon romance, how his world has changed since October 7, and speculate about one of Carmel’s great abiding mysteries: whatsoever is a ‘Reverend’?.
 
Thank you, Ashley Perry, for turning us again to Carmel days!
