Dr. Nimrod Novik was the Special Envoy and Senior Policy Advisor to the late Prime Minister Shimon Peres, and an Advisor to the Israeli National Security Council.
For several decades, his reserve military duty was in the IDF intelligence branch.
He is affiliated with three organizations dedicated to resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a regional context:
A member of the leadership of Commanders for Israel's Security (CIS)
A Distinguished Fellow with Israel Policy Forum (IPF)
Past Chair and current Senior Fellow with the Economic Cooperation Foundation (ECF)
Employing a network of security and diplomatic contacts in the Middle East and beyond, he has long been involved in back-channel/Track II diplomacy.
He achieved his PhD and taught at the University of Pennsylvania and later at Tel Aviv University. Concurrently he engaged in analyses of Middle East regional dynamics, Israel’s security strategy and US-Israel relations at think tanks adjacent to both universities.
Concurrent with his voluntary role as ECF Chair, he spent two decades in business, including in leading the Israeli side of the two largest Arab-Israeli joint ventures: the development, funding, construction and operation of the $1.3 billion MIDOR petroleum refinery in Egypt and the $550 million Israel-Egypt offshore natural gas pipeline system.
