Before his position at Eurocom Digital, Mr. Elmaliach was CEO at Telit and at Elgadphone, both of which specialized in cellular telephony and the integration of communications systems. He was with these companies during their initial public offerings abroad. He has experience as a board member of Yes Satellite Services and currently sits on the board of Satcom. For the past few years Mr. Elmaliach has also been the Chairman of DM Engineering, a multimedia and communications systems integration and solutions company, and the Chairman at Tafnit Discount.

Bezeq Group Chairman, Shaul Elovitch, wished Mr. Elmaliach success in his new position and expressed his confidence that he would make a significant contribution to Bezeq International's continued leadership and forward momentum toward new achievements.
