Former Israeli Consulate Economic Affairs Officer in Dubai, Founder of Israel’s Economic Division in the UAE Following the Abraham Accords, and Arabic-Speaking IDF Intelligence Analyst to Drive Government and Sovereign Engagement Across the GCC as Quantum Cyber Advances Its Israel-to-U.S. Battlefield-Proven Defense Technology Strategy
Norwalk, CT, Sept. 02, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Quantum Cyber N.V. (Nasdaq: QUCY) (“Quantum Cyber” or the “Company”), a Nasdaq-listed autonomous defense technology company assembling an AI-powered, quantum-accelerated System-of-Systems platform spanning drone warfare, counter-UAS, autonomous naval mine countermeasures, EMP shielding, command-and-control, and quantum antenna applications, today announced the appointment of Tzvi Lev as Head of Sales, Middle East, effective immediately. Mr. Lev, who has been contributing to the Company’s regional strategy in 2026 as Director of Sales and Strategy, MENA, has been elevated to lead Quantum Cyber’s commercial engagement across the Gulf Cooperation Council (“GCC”) and Israel as the Company scales its go-to-market posture in one of the world’s most active defense-technology procurement corridors.
Mr. Lev is a Middle East–focused strategist and cross-border commercial operator specializing in defense technology, cybersecurity, and sovereign-level engagement across the GCC and Israel. He most recently served as Economic Affairs Officer at the Consulate General of Israel in Dubai from 2022 to 2025, where he founded and led Israel’s Economic Division in Dubai and the Northern Emirates — the first of its kind, established in the wake of the Abraham Accords. In that role, he designed Israel’s strategic framework for economic engagement across the GCC, brokered more than 17 commercial transactions, facilitated over
Alongside his diplomatic career, Mr. Lev has served in the Israeli Defense Forces since 2013. He is currently an Arabic-speaking IDF intelligence analyst in the Reserves. He previously served in a key foreign liaison role at the Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, working directly with U.S. Joint Special Operations Command personnel and senior officers from the United States, United Kingdom, Egypt, and NATO, and played a strategic role in building the International Stabilization Force framework supporting post-conflict operations in the Gaza Strip. Earlier in his service, he commanded troops in the Kfir Counterterrorism Brigade during Operation Protective Edge in Gaza and led counterterrorism operations in the West Bank during the 2015 wave of attacks.
Mr. Lev additionally serves as Director of Strategy and Investment at Clavium, an Abu Dhabi–based defense technology venture capital fund backed by sovereign Emirati capital, and as Founder and Executive Director of the largest Israeli business group in the MENA region. He holds a B.A. in Arabic and Middle Eastern Studies from Ariel University (Dean’s List) and is fluent in English, Hebrew, and Arabic.
“Tzvi’s elevation reflects exactly where this company is going,” said David Lazar, Chief Executive Officer of Quantum Cyber. “We have built our platform on Israeli battlefield-proven autonomous technology, we have secured domestic U.S. manufacturing capacity in Bridgeport, and our next phase is disciplined commercial expansion into the sovereign customers who are actually writing checks for autonomous defense today. There are very few people in the world who combine an Arabic-speaking IDF intelligence background, a diplomatic career spent building Israel’s post–Abraham Accords economic architecture in the Gulf, and active operating roles inside sovereign-backed Emirati defense capital. Tzvi is one of them. Placing him at the head of our Middle East sales function is a direct expression of our strategy.”
“Quantum Cyber sits at exactly the intersection the region is procuring against — battlefield-proven autonomous systems, quantum-accelerated command-and-control, counter-UAS, and EMP-hardened platforms — delivered by a U.S.-listed, U.S.-manufacturing company with Israeli technological DNA,” said Tzvi Lev, Head of Sales, Middle East of Quantum Cyber. “The Abraham Accords opened a door that governments, sovereign funds, and defense establishments across the Gulf are actively walking through, and the demand signal for exactly the capabilities Quantum Cyber is assembling is, in my view, structural rather than cyclical. I am proud to lead the Company’s commercial engagement across the GCC and Israel, and I intend to convert the relationships I have built over the past decade into real programs, real procurement, and real revenue for the Company.”
The appointment follows a series of strategic milestones that the Company believes have positioned it as a credible participant in the current global autonomous defense procurement cycle. These include the July 16, 2026 closing of the Company’s acquisition of a U.S.-based manufacturing facility in Bridgeport, Connecticut through its wholly owned subsidiary Quantum Drones Corporation; the June 15, 2026 execution of an exclusive quantum antenna license agreement; and the June 11, 2026 launch of vertically integrated production. With Mr. Lev formally leading Middle East sales, the Company intends to convert its assembled technology portfolio and its U.S. domestic production base into a coordinated commercial push into GCC defense ministries, sovereign-backed defense funds, and Israeli program offices.
