Joseph Weiss said: “I would like to thank Doron Suslik for his great contribution to IAI. During his years of service, Doron was involved in key events in the life of IAI, such as the Lavi project, the debut of the observation “Ofeq” satellite, development and production of the Arrow program and other issues which the company faced. Doron steered IAI’s reputation in the international media as one of the world’s most advanced aerospace companies. There is no doubt that we face many challenges in today’s marketplace, and I wish Eliana Fishler success in leading IAI’s communications activities.”

Fishler will begin her post on January 1, 2014.

Doron Suslik was asked by IAI Chairman of the Board of Directors, Rafi Maor,  and Joseph Weiss the CEO to remain an IAI media consultant, due to his extensive international and local media experience.
