"Tomer brings a decade of financial and business experience, having worked closely with some of the world's largest telecom and media conglomerates. His familiarity with the industry and the capital markets will help the Company's growth and stability," said Darren Glatt, Chairman of the Board of Directors of BCOM.

Ami is expected to continue to be a part of the Company and help with seamless transition over the next few months."
