The captain of the AnyWay organization is none other than Zeevik Halber. As CEO of AnyWay Solutions, Zeevik maintains many roles, from navigating operations and managing internal team members to conducting business relations with clients and collaborators. As a global organization, Zeevik must manage a multicultural team across the globe, which is a challenge – but a good one to have.
Zeevik has been a leader most of his life. From early on, he was a basketball coach. He then served the army as an officer before taking various managerial roles at the Metrontario Group (AnyWay’s parent company) and eventually becoming CEO of AnyWay. Through this experience, he has realized the importance of listening to what others have to say to truly engage and motivate them as a team. He references the adage, “A leader needs to be like the sea; all streams flow towards it because it is lower than they are.” When leading his team, Zeevik strives to set a positive influence by being committed to the company, showing respect to other team members, and representing the company wherever they work in a dignified and professional manner.
He loves collaborating with this team – forming a plan, implementing the solution, and getting the reward of seeing the results.
It brings him happiness every time he sees the achievement of a team goal that was set out. He describes a sense of togetherness that the team has when working collaboratively and feels fortunate to work in a place that has such a positive and transformative impact on the lives of local communities.
Reflecting on one of his favorite memories during his tenure at AnyWay, Zeevik recalls the time the company donated medical refrigerators to the people of Enga Province in Papua New Guinea, where AnyWay has done many transport infrastructure projects. He was so proud of the local team and of the organization for not only doing good things for the community through their work but also through charitable initiatives to truly make a difference for the people there.
Personally, Zeevik used to practice Ashtanga Yoga for many years. However, a back problem prevented him from continuing his practice. Nevertheless, he believes yoga is extremely beneficial for the mind and body. He also enjoys swimming three or four times a week, where he gets some of his best ideas. When not at work or practicing his hobbies, you can find Zeevik in his home of Tel Aviv, Israel, where he has raised four daughters
Looking forward, Zeevik foresees AnyWay’s biggest challenge to be transitioning as a company and expanding its services and business focus on climate resiliency solutions for transport infrastructure. “The global recognition of climate change and its effect on transport infrastructure has the greatest impact on what we do now and how we do it,” he says. Through this opportunity, AnyWay is helping communities and using their existing technical strengths to tackle this challenge in developing nations. When asked about the next evolution of AnyWay, Zeevik says, “We are always evolving as a company, and this time it is a major one. The opportunities for us as a company are amazing, both in terms of the places we are going to work and the clients we will work with. I am excited to see how we forge our future.” New and advanced technologies are also presenting an opportunity for AnyWay’s future that will allow them to expedite services that traditionally took longer in the developing parts of the world.
Zeevik considers himself fortunate to work with so many people from different backgrounds and locations—from country leaders to labourers and equipment operators on site. He looks forward to continuing to work with many people around the world while passing his knowledge on to others in the company so that they can grow and develop their careers like he has.
For more than two decades, AnyWay has been a global expert in providing climate-resilient solutions to the global transport infrastructure industry. AnyWay is a member of the Canadian Metrontario Group of Companies, with over 75 years of business experience. Its total commitment to quality is what has fueled AnyWay’s success.
