Josef, an operational excellence and business processes expert, joins Tactile Mobility following 15 years at Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd., where she most recently served as Head of Technology and Business Applications. Having previously held the role of Head of Supply Chain and Operation Technology Group at Rafael, Josef offers a wealth of experience leading teams in highly structured and regulated industries to evaluate and improve business processes. She has overseen the creation of software and the implementation of new methodologies and technologies to achieve unit growth.
