Investment and development company AFI has announced the appointment of Karin Shalev Shogol as CEO for the Czech Republic. Karin has replaced Doron Klein who will focus on other tasks and challenges related to AFI after fourteen years of successful leadership of the Czech team.
Karin Shalev Shogol worked at AFI for almost a decade as Regional Manager and COO for Germany, where she was responsible for a large rental apartment and a commercial portfolio. She spent the following years managing the German branches of the international companies WeWork, Elevation and Plentific.

Doron Klein will continue in his role as Deputy CEO of the entire group and also as CEO of AFI Romania.
"I am honoured to introduce Karin Shalev Shogol as the new CEO of AFI Czech Republic. Karin not only has extensive experience in the field but also knows the DNA of the entire group very well, having successfully led our branch in Germany between 2009 and 2017. After a few years spent managing other companies, Karin returns to AFI, even more experienced and well prepared for this leadership position," comments Avi Barzilay, CEO of AFI Group, and continues: "At the same time, I want to express my sincere gratitude to Doron Klein, who initiated this step, for his excellent work and many successfully implemented projects in the Czech Republic."
