Before MLM, he headed IAI’s “Arrow” Program, where he was responsible for developing the systems’ advanced configurations.

Joseph Weiss, chairman of ELTA’s board of directors and IAI’s CEO said, “ELTA is a global leader in radars, intelligence, early warning systems, communication, electronic warfare and cyber. As such, it is an integral, complementing party to all of IAI’s operations. I welcome Yoav and wish him luck in his new strategic position, where he will lead ELTA in the face of challenges and growing competition in various markets. Yoav brings impressive and proven managerial capabilities, out-of-the-box thinking, creativity and extensive experience in the American market, which is a central ELTA market. I am confident he will take ELTA on a road of long-term success and profitability.”
Harel Locker, IAI’s chairman, added, “Yoav Turgeman belongs with the highly experienced managers who will guide IAI in the coming years, addressing multiple business, operational, and technological challenges IAI will face. I have been working with Yoav from my first day at IAI, and I trust his leadership, persistence and creativity. I have no doubt he will take our radar and intelligence division – ELTA – to exceptional achievements. Yoav’s nomination is aligned with the recent reshuffling we made at IAI in order to reinforce and make the Company better prepared for the business and defense reality, both globally and regionally.”
