Eric Brook, CEO of ONDS, praised Barnea's unique combination of current operational experience, strategic judgment, technological leadership, and international connections. Brook highlighted Barnea's leadership of one of the world's most sophisticated intelligence organizations during a period of active conflict, evolving threats, and complex operations where AI, advanced communications, cyber capabilities, and specialized operational technologies were crucial.
