ZIM's Board of Directors unanimously approved the appointment of Aharon Fogel (67) as the chairman of the company.
Fogel was elected in view of his many years of experience in economics and finance. His vast experience will contribute to leading ZIM on its new path after the restructuring.
Fogel joins Zim following a diverse career in both the public and private sectors. Over the years he has held a number of senior positions, including Director General of the Israeli Ministry of Finance, Chairman of NESS Technologies, Chairman of Migdal Insurance and Chairman of the Advisory Committee to the Bank of Israel.
Fogel holds a BA in Economics and Statistics and an MA in Economics from the Hebrew University. The effective date of the nomination will be announced in due course. Rafi Danieli will continue as Zim’s chief executive and president for the immediate future after Aharon Fogel was announced as the carrier’s new chairman.
