Amnon Neubach (ExScite in the 80’s) has been appointed managing director of the Israeli Stock Exchange.
In the middle of the 80′s during the existential crisis at Scitex, he was brought in for a short period, as a corporate VP finance and helped in the cost cutting and the turn around of the company.
Over the last several years Amnon served as chairman and director for quite a few public and industrial companies in Israel. He was also the economic attaché in the Israeli embassy in Washington. Prior to working at Scitex he was economic consultant to the (then) prime minister Shimon Peres.

נויבך מסר כי הוא “משוכנע כי בכוחות משותפים נתמודד עם האתגרים העומדים בפני שוק ההון בעת זו, ונוביל את הבורסה לעידן חדש”.
עו”ד ברכה ליטבק, יו”ר הועדה, אמרה כי “מר נויבך מביא לתפקיד ניסיון עשיר ומגוון בניהול עסקי, בסקטור הציבורי והעסקי, כדירקטור וכיו”ר דירקטוריונים. הוא בעל ראיית מקרו רחבה וניסיון בהובלת שינויים משמעותיים בארגונים מורכבים. יש לו הכרות עמוקה עם העולם הפיננסי ועם ארגונים בארץ ובעולם. אני משוכנעת כי מר נויבך יזכה לתמיכה ולשיתוף פעולה מלא של הדירקטוריון, של השחקנים בשוק, ושל הרגולטורים, ויפעל יד ביד עם מנכ”ל הבורסה, הנהלתה וצוות עובדיה על מנת להוביל את הבורסה לתהליך של צמיחה והתחדשות”.
יו”ר רשות ניירות ערך, שמואל האוזר, מסר כי הוא “מודה לוועדת האיתור על עבודתה המצוינת והיסודית בתהליך בחירת יו”ר לבורסה. ניסיונו העשיר של אמנון במגזר הציבורי כמו גם במגזר העסקי וכיו”ר לשעבר של חברות גדולות, יסייע לו להוביל את הבורסה יחד עם מנכ”ל הבורסה, מר יוסי ביינהרט, וחברי הדירקטוריון, אל שיאים חדשים ולהביאה למקום הראוי לה בזירה הבינלאומית והמקומית כמחוללת צמיחה במשק וכאחד מעמודי התווך המרכזיים של התעשייה בישראל”.
עוד הוסיף האוזר כי “התקופה הקרובה מעמידה בפני הבורסה אתגרים גדולים, ואני משוכנע כי ההנהגה החדשה, בהובלת היו”ר והמנכ”ל הנבחרים, יצעידו את הבורסה ואת שוק ההון לעידן חדש”.
