Tel Aviv Stock Exchange CEO Ester Levanon To Step Down At Year-End

Ester Levanon, TASE CEO, will step down at the end of the year

Ms. Ester Levanon, the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange CEO, announces today that she will step down from her position at the end of the year.

Ms. Levanon joined the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange in 1986 and was appointed as Chief Executive Officer at 2006.

Since her appointment, Ms. Levanon endeavored to expose the TASE internationally, as part of the process of turning the TASE into a global exchange. During that period of time, the Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange was promoted to Developed Market status by FTSE and MSCI.


Ms. Levanon is responsible for turning the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange into a fully-automated exchange, upgrading it to one of the most advanced stock Exchanges. Tel-Aviv Stock Exchange is one of the very few exchanges that offer fully-automated trading in securities, bonds, T-bills and derivatives, alongside fully-automated, paperless clearing and settlement.

Before joining TASE, between 1973 and 1985 Ms. Levanon founded and managed the Computer Division of the Israeli Security Service.

Ms. Levanon holds M.Sc. in Mathematics from the Hebrew University, Jerusalem. In 1998, she completed the Advanced Management Program at Harvard Business School, U.S.A.
