As VP Operations he ran the R&D and Engineering division, employing over 1,000 researchers and engineers. He was appointed as the GM of Elbit Communications Division, which included CTV plant, data communication company and telephony over cable TV project in China.
“Nano Dimension is clearly one of the most exciting opportunities I have ever encountered insomuch as proven multi-disciplinarian technology of chemistry, 3D-printing process of two materials at once controlled by proprietary algorithms and AI software,” commented Mr. Peled. “The breakthrough products are sold to leading multi-billion dollar corporations on four continents, yet the exponential growth is clearly ahead as competition is still struggling. I have done it before, but the potential in Nano Dimension surpasses the previous companies I have led.”
“In a few multi-disciplinarian high-tech companies that I helped turn around as CEO and/or shareholder, Ziki was my partner as COO, CRO or CEO,” said Yoav Stern, CEO and President of Nano Dimension. “Some were sold at high returns to shareholders, and one has been operating profitably for many years, where I am still a shareholder and a board member. I cannot think of a better person to help maximize opportunities and lead in turning challenges into leverage points for Nano Dimension. Ziki has demonstrated, as a business leader, that he has the ability to identify opportunities in obstacles, rather than the opposite.”

It’s Only Common Sense: You Need to Learn to Say ‘No’
11/18/2024 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseWhy is it so hard to say “no?” I am a people pleaser, so this is a problem I deal with all the time. Most of us like to say “yes,” and we like to help people, especially when they are offering a business deal that looks like a genuine opportunity. Business opportunities come from all directions, and it’s tempting to say “yes” to them all. However, saying “yes” to everything can dilute your focus, spread your resources too thin, and pull you away from your core goals. Learning to say “no” is not just a skill; it’s necessary for success. It’s only common sense.
