Commenting on the appointment, Charlotte Crosswell, who is currently meeting with companies in Israel, said: “Israel is NASDAQ’s largest market in terms of listings outside North America. The appointment of a Hebrew-speaking Director, dedicated to the Israeli market, is a key part of our strategy to broaden and deepen our relationship with Israeli companies across all industry sectors. We are presently receiving increased levels of enquiries from Israeli companies, which are interested in listing on NASDAQ. Amira’s appointment will enable us to maintain our high standards of support to our existing listed companies whilst responding effectively to these new opportunities.
