RAPAPORT... The Israel Diamond Institute (IDI) has appointed Aviel Elia
as managing director, succeeding Eli Avidar, it said Monday.
“Aviel is very well versed in IDI’s mission and activities,”
said chairman Boaz Moldawsky. “He has shown leadership, initiative and
commitment. We are all very pleased that he will now be leading the
organization.”
Elia (pictured) has been legal adviser and company secretary at IDI
since 2013, working on the development of company strategy, negotiating
transactions, and managing budget, regulations and implementation.
Prior to joining the IDI, Elia held managerial positions in national
security services and the Israel Airports Authority’s security operations.
“I was fortunate to have worked under Eli Avidar, and I
learned a great deal from him,” Elia said. “IDI is in a unique position to work
together with all parts of the industry to strengthen the Israeli diamond
sector, by initiating new projects and by providing important assistance and
tools to diamantaires, as we have in the past.”
Avidar, who announced his decision to leave the IDI last
month, plans to pursue a political career.
