2024年7月16日 - 9:00PM
LightSolver, creator of a new laser-based computing paradigm, today
announced the appointment of Amir Oz as Chief Operations Officer
and Miki Sapir as Vice President of Product Management. Oz and
Sapir will play key roles in supporting product innovation and
market adoption for LightSolver’s recently released LPU100 laser
computing system.
The new hires bolster LightSolver’s efforts to accelerate
commercialization of its technology, which is poised to outperform
quantum and supercomputers. Oz and Sapir have both previously
played key roles in productizing and scaling innovative,
multi-disciplinary technologies and will help LightSolver architect
its high-performance computing platform for organizations in the
logistics, finance, aerospace and manufacturing sectors.
As Chief Operations Officer, Oz will be instrumental in building
out LightSolver’s new enterprise cloud offering and productizing
its on-premises hardware platform. He brings over two decades of
multi-disciplinary experience leading complex technology and
product operations across the automotive, enterprise storage,
healthcare, and defense industries, with global enterprises like GE
Health and SanDisk as well as successful scaleups like
Infinidat.
“It's not every day that one has the opportunity to contribute
to the creation of an entirely new computing system," said Oz.
“LightSolver’s innovative laser-based method represents the next
generation of computing. I look forward to helping drive the
company’s product evolution across all operational aspects.
As VP of Product Management, Sapir will shape LightSolver’s
strategic roadmap and product offerings and help tailor them to the
requirements of LightSolver’s customer segments. He brings a wealth
of experience in leading customer engagements from architect to
executive levels and delivering enterprise-grade products to the
market. Prior to LightSolver, he held several leadership roles in
R&D and product management across the automotive, mobile, IoT,
and cloud computing sectors at companies such as SanDisk, Western
Digital, Infinidat, Align Technologies, and others.
“I am passionate about delivering to market new technologies
that push the boundaries of what’s possible,” said Sapir. “Right
now, there is a significant demand for advanced computing methods,
and it is clear that LightSolver stands out from the competition
with its speed, performance, and scalability. I am confident that,
with such a strong team of researchers and business veterans,
LightSolver will continue to exceed market expectations well into
the future.”
“We are pleased to welcome Amir and Miki to our talented team,”
said LightSolver CEO and co-founder Ruti Ben-Shlomi, Ph.D. “They
bring invaluable expertise that will be crucial in cementing
LightSolver’s place as a true alternative to quantum computing and
traditional HPC technology. With their help, we will make our
laser-based computing system widely accessible, enabling
enterprises to benefit from its fast processing speeds to optimize
their critical business operations.”
