Black Cube
In April 2017 Globes described Black Cube's board as "impressive", naming "Prof. Asher Tishler, Dean of the School of Business Administration of Tel Aviv University" alongside Lieutenant Colonel (res.) Golan Malka of NICE Systems and Brigadier General (res.) Mati Leshem.[2] The firm's website lists him on its international advisory board, alongside former heads of the Mossad and Israel Police. It says he "serves as an advisor to the IDF, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Energy, and several banks and corporates in Israel and abroad".[3] His own website mentions his consultancy for the Ministry of Defense and the IDF, but not Black Cube.[1] No source consulted attributes any particular Black Cube operation to him.
