Bank Hapoalim's Board of Directors appointed Yadin Antebi as the bank's new chief executive officer, effective 15 August 2024, following receipt of the required regulatory approval from Israel's Banking Supervision Department. Antebi succeeds Dov Kotler, who served as CEO for five years.
Antebi comes to the role from within the institution, having headed Bank Hapoalim's Financial Markets and International Banking division since 2018 and served as its chief financial officer before that; earlier in his career he was Israel's Commissioner of Capital Markets, Insurance and Savings. Bank Hapoalim is one of Israel's two largest banks.
