History
Galia Lahav was born in Pinsk, Belarus. Lahav emigrated with her family to Israel in 1957, and grew up in southern Israel, in the city of Ashkelon. In 2005, after operating for more than 2 decades in the Israeli market, Galia's son, Idan Lahav, had joined the company as the CEO and helped expand the company's operations to the international market. In a Forbes interview, Lahav shared how technology and data-driven approach has helped the brand penetrate the global arena.
