Fort Lee, NJ-based Steinreich Communications has appointed Daniel Seaman, a former director of Israel’s government press office, as managing director of the firm’s Israel headquarters in Tel Aviv.

In the new role, Seaman will be responsible for coordinating the firm’s communications staff, which boasts clients in travel and tourism, healthcare, education, technology and government.

Prior to his decade of service as Israel’s press office director — during which he served under six prime ministers — Seaman was deputy director general of Israel’s minister of diaspora affairs. He was also a spokesman for the Israel Defense Forces and served as an attaché for the country’s minister of foreign affairs in New York.

Steinreich, which was founded in 2002 by CEO Stan Steinreich, now has offices in New York, New Jersey, Washington, London, Los Angeles, Frankfurt and Tel Aviv.

Last year, Steinreich’s daughter, Ariella Steinreich, joined the firm as media relations director.
