Ran Gozali (Dr Ran Gozali; also spelt Goazali in some reports) is an Israeli defence-industry executive. He has been chief executive of the loitering-munitions maker UVision since July 2024. Before that he spent about 30 years at the state-owned arms company Rafael.[1][2]
Rafael
Israel Defense reported that for the decade before he left, Gozali had been an executive vice-president and member of Rafael's executive management, leading "the R&D and Engineering Division, as well as the Global Business Division in the fields of land, naval and multi-domain warfare". He was also a director of Aeronautics, a Rafael subsidiary that competes with UVision. According to the same report, he announced in April 2024 that he was leaving Rafael after its board chose Yoav Turgeman over him as chief executive.[1] His conference biography says that he was executive vice-president and general manager of Rafael's Land and Naval Division and of its R&D Division, and that he sat on the boards of Dynamit Nobel Defence in Germany, Euro Spike and Pearson Engineering in the UK.[2]
UVision
Gozali succeeded Maj. Gen. (res.) Avi Mizrachi as chief executive of UVision.[1] His conference biography says that he has held the post since July 2024, also chairs the board of UVision USA in Virginia, and sits on the boards of SpearUAV in Israel and AVision Systems in India.[2] Ctech reported in June 2026 that institutional investors considering UVision's planned flotation had visited its headquarters and production plant in Emek Hefer, where they met Gozali.[3] In October 2026 it described him as having been "previously considered a candidate for the position of CEO at Rafael".[4]
