As an innovating tech founder and executive with a focus on cybersecurity and AI, my passion for creative problem solving has led to the invention of numerous groundbreaking technologies. With over 25 years of experience, I have successfully driven early-stage startups to scale, driving innovation in the industry and leading product and engineering organizations to make a meaningful impact. As a founder and executive, my responsibilities have spanned from product inception, vision, and strategy to execution at scale, fostering partnerships, and driving M&A activity. As a serial entrepreneur, I co-founded 7AI in 2024. We're on a mission to give defenders an unfair advantage with the 1st agentic security platform. Our multi-agent AI system, trained with comprehensive threat intelligence, performs automated triage and suggests responses across customers' systems, taking into account the intricacies of their business and preferences. This approach eliminates the need for complex detection engineering, manual threat hunting, and playbooks, enabling security teams to focus on strategic initiatives Prior to starting 7AI, I co-founded Cybereason and served as CTO and Co-Founder. At Cybereason I was instrumental in developing our proprietary platform that uncovers malicious operations (Malops™) and reconstructs them into a clear image of cyberattacks in context. This innovative technology enables enterprises to discover sophisticated threats early, disrupt them at the stem, and minimize costs and damages. Under my leadership, Cybereason earned a leadership position in Gartner's Magic Quadrant, the highest score in the prestigious MITRE ATT&CK evaluation, and grew exponentially in terms of customers, sales, and enterprise value. As a thought leader, I have cultivated strong analyst relationships and consistently demonstrated my commitment to staying at the forefront of technology. I am a storyteller by nature, dedicated to inspiring and empowering the teams I work with to push the boundaries of innovation and excellence. Prior to Cybereason, I built products, held numerous leadership positions and managed teams working at the forefront of government-level cyber security
