About Our Speaker: Avi Gabbay
Avi Gabbay was elected the 12th Chairman of Israel’s Labor Party, the second largest party in the Israeli Knesset, in July 2017. Prior to that, Gabbay served as Minister of Environmental Protection for one year, resigning in May 2016 due to fundamental ideological differences with the government. Gabbay joined politics after a long career at Bezeq, Israel’s largest telecoms company, culminating in his position as CEO from 2007-2013. During his term as CEO, Bezeq became one of the most profitable global communications companies, despite a dramatic transition into a competitive market environment. Gabbay resigned from Bezeq and business activities in 2013, and shifted his focus to public service. He became the Acting Chairman of the Board of Appleseeds Academy, a non-profit organization that brings technology to under-served communities in Israel and later joined the Israeli Labor Party.
Gabbay holds a B.A. in Economics, and an MBA, from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. He is a native Jerusalemite and the son of Moroccan immigrants.The seventh of eight children, Gabbay was the first person in his family to be born in Israel. Today he is married to Ayelet, an immigrant from Australia, with whom he has three children.

Konrad Adenauer Stiftung
KAS is a foundation closely associated with the CDU political party of Germany.

His intellectual heritage continues to serve both as our aim as well as our obligation today.
