BiomX appoints defense intelligence advisor for security pivot

NETANYA, Israel – BiomX Inc. (NYSE American:PHGE) appointed Dr. Ehud Levi to its newly formed Advisory Board, according to a press release statement issued Monday. The move comes as the company, with a market capitalization of just $7.36 million, explores strategic alternatives beyond its traditional focus.

Dr. Levi will advise the company on strategic alternatives in security and defense sectors, with focus on aerial response systems and counter-unmanned aircraft systems technologies. His role includes evaluating potential partnerships and transactions as BiomX explores expansion into defense applications.

Dr. Levi served more than 30 years in Israeli intelligence and national security positions. His career included service in Unit 8200 of the Israel Defense Forces and as Head of the Counter-Terror Finance Office in the Israeli Prime Minister’s Office, where he worked on Project Cassandra targeting illicit financial networks. He also served as Deputy to the Director of the Mossad under Meir Dagan and holds a doctorate in Middle Eastern studies from Ben Gurion University.

Since retiring from government service in 2016, Dr. Levi has led asset tracking and financial intelligence projects and advised governments and corporations on unmanned systems threats and counter-UAS applications, including work related to the conflict in Ukraine.

“Unmanned systems are rapidly reshaping the global security landscape, with low-cost, high-impact UAV capabilities now widely accessible across multiple regions and actors,” said Michael Oster, CEO of BiomX. “Dr. Levi’s experience operating at the intersection of intelligence, financial systems, and asymmetric threats will be valuable as we evaluate strategic opportunities in defense and counter-UAS technologies.”

Dr. Levi will serve as the initial member of BiomX’s Advisory Board. His compensation will align with the company’s existing incentive plan.
