The state-owned water company Mekorot is set to begin the process of selecting a permanent CEO this week. The search committee will be headed by Chairman Moshe Shimoni. Daniel Sofer, who has been serving as acting CEO since the departure of Amit Lang, is reportedly a candidate for the permanent position.
While the upcoming Knesset elections typically prevent appointments in government companies, this process has received preliminary approval. The actual appointment will not be finalized until after the elections on October 27th.
Sofer's tenure has seen success, including managing the recent issue with algae in the sea that temporarily disrupted water supply to the south. This success makes it possible that he will be chosen as the permanent CEO.
