Arnon Barnes grew up in Johannesburg, South-Africa during apartheid, a volatile period in which his family actively went against the status quo by sharing their home ad lives with a Zulu family. Eventually the atmosphere became so grim they had to leave the country. They moved to Israel and by the age of 16 Arnon found himself positioned as the man of the house due to his father’s decision to stay behind in South-Africa alone and build a new life for himself.
As a result Arnon left school to help his mother pay the rent, clothe his younger sister and baby brother and help put food on the table in a country where they had no family, no friends to fall back on, nor spoke the language.
By the age of 22 Arnon had successfully completed serving 3 years in the IDF (Israeli Defence Force), learning many important lessons including discipline, team work and the power of focus. Within a year after he finished his service in the IDF, he moved to Canada to embark upon a different kind of adventure. Working in the retail industry, he soon found himself leading the sales teams and operations, gaining massive experience interacting with people.
Soon afterwards Arnon relocated to London where he started building his own retail company. Arnon’s business called for traveling to many interesting places around the globe including Hong Kong, Sweden and Scotland.
By the time Arnon was 28, he sold his UK based company and started strategically investing in real estate. Within a few short months Arnon had reached financial freedom. Arnon discovered that his natural talent of creating relationships with people, strategic thinking and negotiating skills came in very handy when venturing out into new countries, businesses and industries. His ability to build strong partnerships, motivate and inspire people has enabled him to be successful in various business arenas such as retail, tourism, hospitality industry and real estate.
