Dov Baharav, Chairman of the Board of Directors stated, “On behalf of the entire Board of Directors, we are highly appreciative of Mr. Ovadia’s contribution in leading Gilat over the past four years, during which time he achieved remarkable results and turned the company into a significant profitable player in the satellite communications market, particularly in the Mobility and Cellular Backhaul segments and most recently in the Non GEO Stationary Orbit (NGSO) market.”
