His last position with the service was the head of its combat systems department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"148\" height=\"173\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/YOAV_TURGEMAN.png.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-118094\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Yoav Turgeman is set to become the next CEO of Israeli defense company Rafael. (Courtesy of Rafael Advanced Defense Systems)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He held several positions in IAI, including as head of the Arrow air defense system program and of the company\u2019s anti-aircraft plant. He most recently served as CEO of IAI subsidiary Elta Systems, a role he took on in 2018. Elta manufactures radars for the Rafael-made Iron Dome and David\u2019s Sling air defense systems as well as the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/industry\/2023\/09\/11\/rafael-inks-news-deal-to-put-trophy-system-on-uks-challenger-3-tanks\/\" target=\"_blank\">Trophy active protection system<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The board chose Turgeman over three serving vice presidents at Rafael: Yuval Miller, head of the air and intelligence division; Ran Gozli, head of the land and sea division; and retired Brig. Gen. Fini Jungman, head of the air defense division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Turgeman will replace retired Gen. Yoav Har-Even, who served as Rafael\u2019s CEO for the past eight years. Har-Even announced in May he would step down from the role.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Har-Even declined to comment on his professional future when asked by Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Unlike Har-Even and his predecessor, Yedidia Yaari, Turgeman is stepping into the executive position with defense sector experience, having strengthened Elta\u2019s cyber, autonomous combat vehicle and patrol vehicle business at home and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rafael is the 34th largest defense company in the world, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/people.defensenews.com\/top-100\/\" target=\"_blank\">Defense News\u2019 Top 100 list<\/a>, which ranks firms based on their defense-related revenue. The company made $3.4 billion in defense-related revenue in 2022, a 13% increase from the year before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, Rafael, like other major defense companies in Israel, is facing a labor shortage due to the activation of about 1,700 of its employees into the reserves force amid the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/cyber\/2023\/10\/31\/hacktivists-join-the-front-lines-in-israel-hamas-war\/\" target=\"_blank\">Israel-Hamas war<\/a>, coupled with the evacuation of about 250 employees from their homes near the font lines. According to Rafael\u2019s recruiting website, there are currently 198 vacancies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yoav Turgeman is also a retired colonel from the Israeli
