Dr. Abraham Knobel CFO of Israel Aircraft Industries Ends Tenure
Sep 11, 2005
Mr. Moshe Keret, President and CEO of IAI, and Dr. Abraham Knobel, Vice President Finance and CFO of the company during the last six years, agreed Thursday (8.9.2005) on the end of Dr. Knobel's tenure with the company. In the past Dr. Knobel, who is highly regarded for his achievements, had complied with Mr. Keret's request to extend his tenure.
Dr. Knobel now turns to new directions outside the company.
One of Dr. Knobel's most outstanding achievements during twenty years of work with the company is the rehabilitation of the company's relationship with its bankers. Beginning in 1997, initially as treasurer and later as CFO, Knobel led the effort that eventually brought about the release of the restrictions the banks had imposed on the company. Dr. Knobel also contributed to the company through his personal involvement in important business transactions with complex financial aspects, such as the set of IAI's agreements with Gulfstream related to the production and development of executive jets, the establishment of ImageSat International, an enterprise aimed at the commercialization of observation satellites, the manufacture and orbiting of the AMOS 2 communication satellite, acquisition through ELTA Systems, an IAI subsidiary, of a partial ownership stake in Elisra Ltd., a long list of long-term credit transactions and others.
During Dr. Knobel's tenure net profits of IAI amounted to about 270 million US $, equity reached about 420 million US$, and the balance of outstanding loans was reduced from 400 million US $ to a mere 100 million US $.
IAI's President & CEO, Mr. Moshe Keret designated Mr. Menashe Sagiv, currently Deputy Corporate Vice President Finance, as Acting CFO. | | Date parution : 12/09/2005 | | catégorie : | | Modifier votre profil | |
