Defense technology company Parry Labs has appointed Raanan Horowitz, former president and CEO of Elbit Systems of America, as a member of its board of directors.
The expertise that Horowitz is bringing in “will be invaluable” in the company’s continuing efforts to support national security, John Parkes, co-founder and CEO of Parry Labs, said in a company statement issued on Tuesday.
“His insights into global defense trends and technology integration will further solidify Parry Labs’ role as a leading innovator in the industry,” Parkes added.
