Mr. Eli Glickman, CEO of ZIM Integrated Shipping Services Ltd., has a long & successful track record of recovering large corporations and companies from past difficulties while making them highly profitable; at the same time, the well-being of the community and society in Israel plays an integral part. Mr. Glickman completed his military service in the Navy; after years as an officer and commander, he was appointed commander of Israel’s Naval Commando unit “Shayetet 13” and then Israel’s naval attaché in Washington. When he became a citizen, Mr. Glickman was named VP of Partner Communications; first as chief of customer service and then as CEO of the company. During his tenure as CEO, Partner made the highest profit. Mr. Glickman was later appointed CEO of the Israel Electric Corporation, and in his four years of managing Israel’s energy company, he led an unprecedented revolution, at the conclusion of which the company, which had suffered continuous losses, emerged a profitable entity. Mr. Glickman also brought his proven ability as a brilliant strategic revolutionary to ZIM, Israel’s shipping company, initiating a cooperation agreement with the largest shipping companies in the world, leading a successful IPO of the company on the New York Stock Exchange, and positioning ZIM as one of the largest shipping companies in the world. In light of Yad Sarah’s appeal, Mr. Glickman was wholeheartedly involved and led a close collaboration of ZIM’s subsidiaries to assist in the optimal nationwide deployment of home hospitalization. This partnership later enabled Yad Sarah to deal with successive corona waves and quickly and efficiently provide all parts of the country with the equipment needed to cope at home and without the need for hospitalization.
