Nir David, the CEO of Bezeq, is in deep mourning following the passing of his mother, Hannah. David assumed leadership of the telecommunications giant in April 2024, but his journey to the top began much earlier, in 1993, when he joined the company after serving in the Navy. Contrary to his initial expectations of a managerial track, David started in infrastructure work, describing it as "cable pulling." He then embarked on a long career within Bezeq, progressing through various roles, including head of customer relations and vice president of the business division, before his appointment as CEO on March 10, 2024, succeeding Ran Guron. David holds a bachelor's degree in economics and management, is a practical electrical engineer, and has a teaching certificate in physics. He previously stated that aspiring to the CEO position had been a lifelong ambition since joining the company, giving his extensive career path from field work to leading a major Israeli telecom firm a profound significance. David, who is married with two children and resides in Yokneam, is now facing this personal tragedy as Bezeq is on the verge of a significant structural change. The Ministry of Communications and the Treasury are considering lifting the structural separation within the Bezeq group for the first time since 2000, which would allow for a full merger between the infrastructure company and its satellite and content subsidiary, yes.
