Ilan Gifman (Hebrew: אילן גיפמן) is an Israeli accountant and real-estate executive. He is chairman of the loitering-munitions maker UVision, which is owned by the businessman Aaron Frenkel, and represents Frenkel as a director of the property company Alony Hetz.[1][2]

According to his biography on the Alony Hetz website, Gifman is chief executive of Frenkel's international real-estate operations, and has 30 years' experience in real estate, including transactions worth more than NIS 10 billion.

He is a certified public accountant with a BA in economics from Bar-Ilan University and a master's degree in real estate from Netanya Academic College.[2]
Globes reported in October 2024 that Gifman, "איש אמונו" (his confidant) and manager of Frenkel's international real-estate business, had been appointed to the board of Alony Hetz on Frenkel's behalf after Frenkel bought 10 per cent of the company for NIS 685 million. It said that Gifman had been chief executive of Aspen Group for eight years, was an external director of Shikun & Binui Energy, and had earlier sat on the board of Gav-Yam on Frenkel's behalf.[3]
UVision
Globes reported in June 2026 that UVision's chairman was Gifman, "a close associate of Frenkel, who previously served as CEO of real estate company Aspen Group and retired about a decade ago". It said that he had been close to Frenkel ever since, assisted him in managing his real estate in Europe, and served on his behalf as a director of his Israeli investments, then Alony Hetz and before that Bayside.[4] Ctech described him as "a long-time associate of Frenkel who has also represented him on the boards of Gav-Yam and Alony Hetz".[1]
