If it wasn’t obvious, one of the most critical necessities for a country fighting a war is money.
For Israel, a country that has fought 11 wars since it declared independence, access to funding has been a lifeline for survival. One of the most influential corporations in securing this funding is Israel Bonds (the Development Corporation of Israel), an organization responsible for the sale of debt securities issued by the State of Israel.
The success of this corporation wouldn’t be possible without two of its most influential leaders, Dr. Andrew M. Hutter, Chairman of the National & International Board, and Dani Naveh, President & CEO.
Dr. Andrew M. Hutter
Dr. Hutter has been involved with Israel Bonds for more than 20 years and was eventually elected as the National and International Chairman of the Board of Directors in 2024. His influence on the organization has been indispensable, as his efforts have led to the creation of a national medical division of Israel Bonds, and he has led many medical delegations to Israel on behalf of Israel Bonds. Additionally, as Chairman of the Board, Dr. Hutter has led the Mentorship Program, a program meant to provide the next generation with tools to become effective future leaders. This program is critical to ensuring strength in the future of the organization for years to come.
Dani Naveh
Dani Naveh has been President and CEO of Israel Bonds since 2021. However, prior to his involvement in the organization, he influenced Israeli society in other ways. Naveh held critical roles in government as the health minister and minister in the Prime Minister’s Office. As minister of health, he helped stabilize the national healthcare system after one of Israel’s most severe financial crises. His role as minister in the PMO meant he played a significant role in the coordination between the government and the Knesset. Additionally, prior to his legislative positions, he served as cabinet secretary.
Naveh has extensive business experience, from his time as chairman of the board of Clal Insurance and Finance, one of the largest groups in Israel, to establishing Health Care Venture Capital Group, which established three funds, specializing in the field of MedTech and health care.
Israel Bonds’ Influence
Israel Bonds / Development Corporation for Israel is one of the most valued economic and strategic resources for creating a strong and dependable Israeli future. Since the bonds were first issued in 1951, worldwide sales have surpassed $55 billion. This funding has been critical in Israel’s development into a global leader and a player on the world stage. Since the horrific attacks on October 7, 2023, Israel Bonds has generated over $5.5 billion in investments.
Thanks to the leadership of this invaluable organization, Israel can lean on a resource that responds quickly to crises, provides critical support when necessary, and builds dependability in an unpredictable environment.
