Itzik Benvenisti, CEO of the Partner after 6 years in that position

Itzik Benvenisti, CEO of the Partner Group, informed the Company's Board of Directors of his intention to retire after 6 years in that position. Benvenisti took over as CEO in June 2015, at a time of uncertainty in the communications market, and a significant junction of strategic decisions for a company that was in the midst of a crisis with the global Orange franchisee.
Immediately upon taking office, Benvenisti led the decision to part ways with the global Orange brand, and rebrand the company in February 2016 under the name ‘Partner’.

The most significant change that Benvenisti led was in turning Partner from an excellent cellular company into a comprehensive communications group that currently leads the communications market in all areas of its activity, innovation, service and growth.
During his tenure as CEO of Benvenisti, he led several prominent strategic moves to establish Partner as a comprehensive communications group, including: development of the cellular field with the retirement of the 4.5th generation and the launch of the 5th generation, independent fiber optic infrastructure with the most extensive retirement in Israel. Up to 1,000 MB, and the launch of the Partner TV service, the growing television service in Israel, with groundbreaking collaborations with Netflix, Amazon and other international partners.
Chairman of the Board Osnat Ronen: "I would like to thank Itzik, for the six years in which he led Partner and turned it with great talent from an excellent cellular company into a comprehensive communications group. From the acquaintance between us, I know that you are always looking for the next challenge and I wish you a lot of success in my name and on behalf of the company's board of directors. "
Benvenisti noted: "These have been six wonderful years at Partner, full of exciting work and groundbreaking achievements. I am proud of the successes we have achieved together, and now that I have completed the key tasks I have set for myself, it is time for a new path."
