Profile:
My name is Ira Riklis, I am an entrepreneur. I am currently the CEO of C.O.P.S. Security Monitoring and invests in many other business interests. My father is billionaire, Meshulam Riklis who was born in Turkey in 1923, while his parents were en route from Russia to Israel.
I am passionate about traveling and this passion started through my travels to my home country of Israel, Tel Aviv. Although I call America home, it does not stop me from traveling to the Middle East, Europe and so many more places as well as exploring our great country and seeing places less traveled.
My father, Meshulam Riklis,was born in Turkey in 1923 but he grew up in Tel Aviv. My father moved to the United States where he majored in Mathematics at the University of Ohio in 1940. He analyzed the stocks at Piper Jaffray. When he owned significant stocks, he climbed the corporate ladder and became the founder of The Rapid-American Corporation. Meshulam had 3 children and had he raised me to be a businessman as well.
I am also the President of Sutherland Capital Management, Inc. which is a private investment fund. I have been an investor of different companies. I attended the Wharton School of business for an undergraduate degree in Economics and Entrepreneurship from 1973 to 1976 and went on to complete a post-graduate program at the Wharton School of Business in 1977 where I received an MBA in Mergers and Acquisitions.
I am not all business, I enjoy talking about movies, history and historical events as well as keeping abreast of health topics and trends.
