The more time I spent with the team and with their partners and clients, the more enthusiastic I became, and today I am honored to formally join this impressive team and effort.”

Ziv’s military career began in 1986, serving Israel for three decades, influencing and developing sophisticated technologies as the world became increasingly connected and digital, presenting new challenges and risks.
