Nielsen to close Israel development center
Nielsen, a US-based information and data measurement firm, is closing its Israel office and transferring development operations to India. This move is part of a broader strategy to balance expenditure and revenue, following a 9% global workforce reduction reported last September. Nielsen, known for its audience measurement system, acquired Israeli companies eXelate and vBrand in the past to enhance its data analytics capabilities. Despite the closure, Nielsen will maintain some operations in Israel. The company was acquired by a consortium of private investors for $16 billion in 2022.
